The How and Why of Mathematics | How to do maths tutoring online @THaWoM | Uploaded 4 years ago | Updated 1 hour ago
I've been doing maths tutoring online for a couple years now so I wanted to share how I do that with anyone wanting to switch over from face to face tutoring, due to the COVID-19 situation. This is also a video for businesses who make online whiteboards, to show them the kind of features that I, as a tutor, want from their software.
I talk about how you can use a stylus or webcam to show your student what you're writing; it can be a laptop with a built-in stylus, an external wacom tablet, a universal stylus with a touchscreen, or an external webcam pointed down at a notebook. I've found that it's not necessary for the student to also have a way of writing, as they can just talk me through what they would do, as I write what they're saying on the online whiteboard.
I forgot to talk about audio. I mostly just use a phone call, but sometimes skype or google hangouts.
Online whiteboards:
github.com/jennigorham/websketch - the whiteboard software I wrote and use
http://groupboard.com - a free online whiteboard
miro.com/online-whiteboard - another
zapier.com/blog/best-online-whiteboard - comparison of a bunch of different online whiteboards
