Live Tutoring Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Get started

To access Tutor.com, log into Blackboard, open your course, select Course Tools, and then click the Tutor.com link at the bottom of the Course Tools page.

Step 2: Get the right tutor and start your session

Fill in the quick pre-session questionnaire. Using this information, we will match you with the first available tutor best qualified to assist you.

Click on the SUBMIT button to quickly connect with an incredible tutor.

Step 3: Communicate

You can use text- or voice-chat to communicate with your tutor in the online classroom. You and your tutor may also use the interactive whiteboard to share work and ideas.

All activity in the classroom is recorded for review and quality control. Transcripts will be available afterward in My Account under the Completed Sessions tab.

Step 4: Share a file

You can upload files related to your assignment to the online classroom—including documents, spreadsheets, presentation slides, screenshots, image files, and more. You and your tutor will be able to view them together during your session.

Step 5: Rate and review your session

After each session, be sure to let us know how we did! Complete the survey and share your comments. Then, you’ll have the option to play a recording of your session and email or print the chat log and whiteboards.

 

Additional Features

Use special tools

The classroom includes a graphing calculator, code editor, and text editor that can be used when working on subject material requiring special tools. You can open them by using the buttons above the whiteboard.

Submit your paper

The drop-off writing review service allows you to get expert help from a tutor without having to connect for a real-time session. Upload a draft of your assignment—whatever stage it is at—and get detailed feedback within a day. Retrieve your tutor’s completed review in My Account under the Completed Sessions tab.
