Teaching is via zoom and students are expected to have a computer or an iPad as well as a whiteboard and marker. We share resources on Google drive (which requires a private (non school) google account to operate). Some resources lend themselves to being used on paper.
Before your first tuition session, a zoom link will be sent to you via either email or WhatsApp. These links are password protected to provide a secure connection.
To make lessons work well, please:
work in a public part of your home where there is an adult nearby
be on time
have a whiteboard pen, board duster and marker ready
have a notepad and pen
have a computer and/or tablet ready (some students connect to the meeting using both to enable them to write more easily using the tablet)
check your internet connection is stable
go to the toilet before the session
have a drink nearby in case you are thirsty
have a snack beforehand so you are not hungry
have headphones and a mic if there is noise in the room
be prepared to participate and explain your thinking
Please make sure that your child is ready to start at the right time for the lesson with the right equipment. This will give them a better chance to get the most out of their session.
