A clear path through every one-to-one tutoring session
Learn how students prepare for one-to-one iTutor sessions, use live virtual classroom tools, participate with an educator, and review lessons.
Prepare for the tutoring session
A current browser, dependable internet connection, working audio, and a quiet place to learn help the session begin smoothly.
Allow microphone access
The browser asks permission before the virtual classroom can use a microphone. The student can complete the audio test before speaking with the tutor.
Preview the camera
The student can choose a camera and preview the image before sharing video with the tutor.
Reduce interruptions
Closing unused tabs and applications can preserve device resources and make the tutoring session easier to follow.
Keep materials nearby
Assignments, notes, a calculator, and any materials requested by the tutor should be ready before the lesson begins.
Join on time
Opening the tutoring session a few minutes early leaves time to resolve browser, microphone, speaker, or camera permissions.
Participate in one-to-one tutoring
The tutor and student meet in a private iTutor virtual classroom. The tutor can turn specific lesson tools on or off as they work together.
Talk and share video
The student can use a microphone and camera according to the tutor’s session settings.
Work on the whiteboard
The tutor can let the student solve a problem, label a diagram, write a response, or show each step of their thinking.
Respond to a poll
The student can answer a quick check for understanding and see the result when the tutor shares it.
Share a screen
After receiving presenter access, the student can share work from their screen for feedback and guided practice.
Use chat and shared notes
Written questions, responses, and notes can support the lesson when the tutor enables those tools.
Use reactions and raise hand
Reactions, status indicators, and the raise-hand control let the student respond without interrupting the tutor.
Turn on captions
The student can display available closed captions during the session when captions are enabled.
Understand the tutor’s session controls
The iTutor virtual classroom gives the tutor controls that help keep the one-to-one lesson focused and protect the student’s participation.
Microphone permissions
The tutor can mute the student or temporarily restrict microphone use.
Webcam permissions
The tutor can control whether the student shares a webcam.
Chat permissions
The tutor can enable or limit chat during the lesson.
Whiteboard permissions
The tutor decides when the student may draw and annotate.
Shared-notes permissions
The tutor can control whether the student uses shared notes.
Presenter access
Presenter access can be granted when the student needs to share a screen and returned to the tutor afterward.
Review useful lesson work
Save shared notes
Shared notes can be exported when the session configuration permits downloads.
Save annotated slides
Presentations containing worked examples and whiteboard annotations can be downloaded when enabled.
Review a recording
If the one-to-one session was recorded and the recording is published, an authorized student may be able to replay it.
Protect the session link
The student should use only their own access and should not share a tutoring-session link with anyone else.
Report technical trouble
Browser, audio, video, or connection details help support teams diagnose a session problem.
One tutor. One student. One focused space.
The iTutor virtual classroom keeps live video, shared lesson content, collaboration tools, and tutor controls together in the browser so students can focus on the lesson rather than the software.
