How To Take Tutoring Online

Starting your tutoring business online with a modern virtual office is simple
Written By

Bringing a tutoring business online is simple with modern video conferencing platforms but when you try to recreate some of the magic and atmosphere from in the room classes, things start to get a bit more challenging.

Too many engagement features can make the experience difficult for people to use, and not enough leaves the session dry and unexciting.

VideoFacilitator provides an experience that is both simple and engaging for students and tutors creating a more human experience.

Three simple key features create an engaging experience without overcomplicating your tutoring space.

  1. Students and tutors select which rooms they wish to move to
  2. Rooms and topics are visible to all participants
  3. Students enter via a lobby before moving to their rooms

The combination of these three key features creates a unique tutoring experience that is easy to set up in under 2 minutes.

Walkthrough and example of how to take your tutoring business online

In this setup

  • Students meet in the lobby before their class and can chat with other students waiting for their own classes, much like in-person experiences
  • At the start of a tutoring class students can easily search for their tutors room and see whether a class is currently in progress
  • Tutors are able to shift between group sessions and one on one sessions enabling a new collaborative mix of learning styles
  • Classes can leverage world-class prerecorded content by watching educational Youtube videos with their students and then debriefing and discussing the topic

These key experience differences enable a new and exciting way to engage with students.

With a fully-featured 30-day free trial and no cancellation fees now is a great time to give Berst a try.
