Virtual Tutoring Curriculum

​Just because things are virtual doesn't mean all of the sudden you will be watching YouTube and playing Minecraft with your student.  We have been uncovering some truly magical things to do with your student during virtual tutoring sessions over the past six months. We want to share our discoveries with you. Explore the content below see (and learn) some of our favorite virtual tutoring resources as they relate to our new tutoring format. ​

Virtual Tutoring Session Format

Weekly sessions with your student will follow the format outlined below. Sessions will be roughly one hour in length, with students joining for 45 minutes. Tutor Coaches will provide direct instruction at the start of your tutoring session. The goal of this instruction  is to provide you with some guidance on how to best proceed with the next component of your lesson. Additionally, Tutor Coaches will always be available to field any questions you may have throughout the entire session.
