Introducing SESSIONS! A whole new service on findAtutor.ca!

Many tutors have pivoted from in-person tutoring to on-line tutoring. This new platform allows new possiblilities for tutors, such as safely accomodating group tutoring in a small space.

Simultaneously parents and students want extra help in a safe environment. Added that many people are struggling with reduced or loss of income, one-on-one private tutoring may not be affordable right now.

There are tutors out there willing to help, but how do tutors find a group of students looking for the same topic at the same time?

We created a solution: Sessions.

Tutors that offer on-line tutoring can schedule a group tutoring session and enter it on findAtutor.ca. From your account on findAtutor.ca, you can create as many sessions as you like. Select your day and time, grade, province (optional) and subject. Enter what technology you will be using and a description of what you will be covering in the session. There are 2 additional fields where you can include information: one that will be sent to the student/parent in their registration confirmation, and the second is included in an e-mail sent as a reminder of the upcoming session about 2 hours ahead of the session start time.

For students and parents, they can view all the sessions available, refine their search by selecting a grade, province (optional) and subject. Once they find a session they are interested in, they simply register. They have the option to include a note to the tutor, or upload a document with information.

For now registration for sessions is free, but we plan on adding a payment method in the future.

We are so excited to be offering this whole new service on findAtutor.ca. We will continue to work on refining it, and as part of that, I invite you to join me in sessions that I will be hosting, covering how to use sessions on findAtutor.ca!

Read more about sessions on the sessions page of findAtutor.ca:

And just like searching for tutor listings, the option to search for sessions is available at the top of every page of findAtutor.ca. Do a search under level “tutors” and the subject “coaching/organization” to find sessions for tutors, or you can see a list of sessions I’ve created here:

I look forward to seeing your sessions added to findAtutor.ca, and hopefully meeting you on-line sometime soon too!

Stay safe and healthy,
Johanna
