For Parents and Students

What You'll Need

Simple setup, just a browser, internet, and a headset.

Any desktop, laptop, or tablet with a modern web browser. No app downloads or installations needed, just click your session link to join.

We recommend Google Chrome for the best experience. Make sure your browser is updated to the latest version before your first session.

A reliable broadband or Wi-Fi connection is needed for smooth video and audio. Wired connections are ideal, but strong Wi-Fi works well too.

A headset with a built-in microphone ensures clear communication and reduces background noise during your session.

A webcam helps your tutor see how you're going and makes sessions more interactive. Built-in laptop cameras work perfectly.

Keep a phone nearby as a backup. If anything goes wrong with your main device, you can quickly rejoin your session from a mobile browser.

For Teachers and Tutors

A professional setup to deliver high-quality online lessons.

A desktop or laptop with good performance. Dual monitors are recommended so you can manage your lesson materials alongside the session.

We recommend the latest version of Chrome for the best teaching experience across all session features.

A strong, stable internet connection is required. We recommend a wired connection to avoid any interruptions during live sessions.

A noise-cancelling headset ensures your students hear you clearly and maintains a professional teaching environment.

Being visible on camera builds trust with students and parents. A good quality webcam makes your sessions more engaging and personal.

A pen tablet (e.g., Wacom) is highly recommended for Maths and Science tutors. It lets you write and draw naturally on the interactive whiteboard.
