  5. Will I get a confirmation email with the details of the session?

    • Yes, after confirming your payment you will be redirected to a page that allows the client detail their specific requests on the subjects and material to be covered. After filling out this form you will recieve a copy of this email as well as a Google Meet link (if applicable).

  6. What do I need for an online session?

    • You will need a computer, a piece of paper, and something to write with. We strongly suggest that a computer, not a phone, be used for the Google Meet because it is important to be able to see what the tutor is writing. The tutors may either share their screen and write their on a virtual writing platform, such as Kami, or they may set up their computer facing a chalkboard of whiteboard for the client to follow their work.
