Module 3.4
ONLINE LESSONS
Connecting with students online is a great way of working with students outside your area or that may not be able to accomodate face to face lessons.
Online lessons are paid at different rate to regular face-to-face lessons, but still include 10-lesson increases as normal. Please take a look at the tutor agreement in Tutorhub for details on these payment rates.
Alchemy Online is our custom built platform for online lessons. It is similar to any video calling platform (Zoom, Google Meet or Facetime) but is specifically built for tutoring, containing a number of additional tools to help you engage your students.
One thing to note is that connecting with a student online can be far more challenging than working with them in person. It is much harder to engage a student through a screen than it is when they are sitting next to you. Please be sure to check out our online training in Dashboard ahead of your first lesson to help you get prepared for the online experience.
YOUR ONLINE CLASSROOM
Our team will shortly create your unique online classroom URL which will be included in the confirmation email when you take on an online student and accessible through your dashboard. This URL is uniquely yours and will remain active throughout your time with us. For any students you want to connect with online, simply give them this URL and they can meet you in your classroom.
When you accept your first online student you will receive a video guide to your online classroom and some tips to make the online lesson seamless. It is important to have a back up platform (such as Zoom or Facetime) ready to go in the event of technical problems which can happen from time to time.
