UPDATE: With the COVID-19 Pandemic many teachers are having to change to teaching online. I made this tutorial in 2018, it will help many of you learn how to run a virtual class. Note, the Today’s meet backchannel mentioned in the training is no longer available but there is a great alternative called Yo Teach.

Tutoring is something many teachers offer their students. However, students and teachers are often so busy with after-school activities, that it can be hard to find the time after school to offer or attend tutoring regardless of how much a student may need it.
I set out to find a way to be able to provide students with tutoring in a way that was more convenient. I decided to try offering online tutoring as a solution and the results were surprisingly AMAZING!
By offering online tutoring I am able to provide tutoring for students at their convenience, If they can't attend the live online tutoring session, they can watch the replay. The feedback I have received from my parents and students is that they prefer the online tutoring. They can watch at their convenience and rewind or fast forward where needed.
As a teacher, I have found that online tutoring allows me to reach more students at once. In addition, it allows for better differentiation because students can watch the replay as many times as they need to. They can also skip parts they are already strong in.
