Where does the actual tutoring take place?

Tutoring with LTB takes place through your portal in one of our online classrooms. We currently have two:

• Zoom: Includes audio/video, screen sharing, and a whiteboard. Both you and your student will need to have Zoom clients installed. You can find lots of help information and tutorials on how to use Zoom features by doing a web search.
• Google Meet: Includes audio/video and screen sharing, but not a whiteboard. Help and tutorials for Google Meet are also readily available from a web search.

If you want to practice using any of the classrooms, you can try a demo session.

To start a tutoring session, you'll first need to connect with a student and schedule a session. Then at the time of your session, or a few minutes before, click "Session details" from your Dashboard (see screenshot below).

When you get to the session details, select one of the four online classrooms, and click "Start This Session". The classroom will start.

Once it has started, your student will need to log in to their account and click "Join my tutor's classroom" on their dashboard. Or, you can send them the link shown on the tutor's session details screen, which will be the same for each tutoring session between you and that particular student.

After clicking the button or link, the student will then be brought automatically to whichever classroom the tutor decided to open. Note that the student does not select the classroom — the tutor selects the classroom, but the tutor should ask if the student has a preference. If the student is very familiar with Zoom, we recommend that tutors use Zoom. 

**All sessions on our platform are recorded. If you would like your sessions verified, DO NOT turn off the recordings.
