Tips for before your Tutoring Session:
Tutors need to start the meeting for the child. Once you are in the sessions, please click on the camera icons to start the meeting. The child can only enter when you start the meeting.
Only start the meeting using the link provided. Do not join another link you are not suppose to be on.
When the child comes into the room, please ask them their FIRST NAME ONLY (if it is not already written) to ensure they are in the right session.
If you have the wrong child in the session, please ask them to leave the meeting, and join the correct session.
Please join the session at exactly the time of the session. The room will only open at that time.
Do not end the session early. If you click "End Meeting", the meeting will close, and you will not be able to join after.
The tutor is the only one that can end the meeting. If a child would like to leave early, please get permission from their parents. Once you have that, you may end the call, and send an email to inform us.
Tips for After your Tutoring Session:
Please head over to Better Impact, and log your preparation time! Select the name of the student you worked with, and provide feedback on your session. You do not need to log the 1 hour for your session, this is done automatically.
If the student did not show up after waiting 15 minutes, please log any preparation time + the 15 minutes you waited for them to join, and immediately fill out the "No-Show" report locacted under "Tutors".
