Giving private tuition in a foreign language online

Online tuition is preferred by many students and tutors. Not only do you enjoy the convenience of giving classes from wherever you want, but you also have a more flexible timetable. In addition, there are many new tools available to give private tuition online.

What do you need to give private tuition in a foreign language online? Here are some tips on the subject:

Virtual classroom. Having a virtual space in which to meet is very important. If you want to be an online tutor, you will need a platform where you can hold virtual meetings and where the options of "screen sharing", "file sharing", "chatting" and more are available.
Digital materials: Do you have digital books/ebooks, computer notes or other materials with which to teach? You would be doing your students a favour if before or after class you could share with them the digital material you have available. This way, they can work on it online.
Online resources to complement. Keeping students' attention through a screen can be very difficult, so we advise you to make blocks of classes no longer than 2 h and try to vary the content as much as possible: introduce videos, prepare presentations...
Don't neglect conversation! Language classes are characterised by a strong emphasis on speaking, logically. Therefore, even if they are online tuition, language classes should encourage students to participate and try to communicate in the language they are trying to learn as much as possible.
