Online Tutor Tools for Beginners

Test before the lesson

Test video, audio, and screen sharing before the lesson starts, not during it.

Keep notes simple

Keep one shared note per student: topic, progress, and next practice.

Have a backup plan

If video fails, have a backup: chat, phone, or reschedule — agreed in advance.
