Conducting a session on Tutorpeers requires a few essential items and a conducive environment to ensure a smooth and effective tutoring experience. Here’s what your child needs:
Essential Equipment
- Microphone: A built-in microphone on your laptop or a standalone mic will work. Ensure the sound is clear and there is minimal background noise.
- Camera: A built-in webcam or an external camera is necessary for visual interaction.
- Stable Internet Connection: A reliable internet connection is crucial to avoid interruptions during the session.
- Compatible Device: You can use a desktop, laptop, or tablet. Note that mobile phones are not supported for conducting sessions.
- Allow browser access: When starting a session, ensure that you grant the browser permission to access your camera and microphone by clicking "Allow" in the appropriate pop-up.
Preparing Your Environment
- Quiet Environment: Make sure you are in a noise-free environment to avoid distractions.
- Good Lighting: Sit in front of a window for natural light or use a lamp. Avoid sitting with your back to the window to prevent exposure issues with the camera.
- Distraction-Free Workspace: A clean, organized desk and a comfortable chair will help maintain focus during the session.
- Study Materials: Prepare all the necessary study materials, including textbooks, notes, and any other resources you plan to discuss.
Additional Tips
- Test Your Equipment: Before the session, test your microphone, camera, and internet connection to ensure everything is working properly. You can use our Demo session for this!
- Use Headphones: Consider using headphones to improve audio quality and reduce echo.
- Backup Plan: Have a backup device or internet connection ready in case of technical issues.
- Dress code: While there is no strict dress code, we kindly ask that you dress casually and avoid any inappropriate attire during the lesson.
