Choose the format around the learning task

Start with what the learner needs to do during a lesson. A convenient video call is useful only if the tutor can see or hear enough of the work to respond. Compare the practical demands of online and in-person tuition before choosing.

Discussion and explanation
For a spoken explanation or a discussion of a text, check that both people can hear clearly and interrupt comfortably to ask questions. Online lessons remove the journey; an in-person meeting may suit someone who finds conversation through a screen tiring.
Written work and diagrams
Agree how both people will see each step: a shared document, a suitable writing tool, or a clear view of paper. If the tutor sees only a final answer, they may miss where the learner became stuck. In person, both can look directly at the same page.
Physical or practical tasks
Check what the tutor needs to observe and what help is needed in the room. A camera view may leave part of a movement or piece of equipment out of sight. Do not assume a remote lesson supplies hands-on assistance or supervision.
A mixture of formats
If different tasks need different settings, discuss whether a mix of online and in-person lessons is workable. Latimer is online first; any in-person arrangement must be agreed separately.

Look for teaching that makes the learner participate

A tutor needs to understand both the learning goal and how the learner responds to explanations. Use an introductory conversation to discuss relevant teaching experience and the way an online lesson would work. A polished presentation alone tells you little about what the learner can do afterwards.

If you want to prioritise teaching qualifications, explore qualified tutors and check the evidence shown on each profile.

  • Make the thinking visible

    Ask how the tutor will see a first attempt and notice a misunderstanding. Talking through a choice, annotating a passage or sharing intermediate working can reveal more than whether the final answer is right.

  • Move from help to independence

    For example, a learner may follow an explanation but struggle when the worked steps disappear. A useful next activity is a similar task attempted independently, followed by feedback on the point where help was needed. Discuss how the tutor would adjust if that attempt is still too difficult.

  • Agree a way to review progress

    Choose a small, observable goal, such as explaining a method without prompts or revising a paragraph using feedback. Keep an early attempt to compare with later work, and agree when to review the approach with the tutor.

Prepare your first online lesson

Microsoft Teams is Latimer’s default lesson platform; the tutor and learner can agree an alternative. Confirm the meeting link and how work will be shared before the lesson, then test the setup you actually plan to use.

  1. Check sound, camera and workspace

    Use a quiet space where you can hear and be heard. Open the lesson link on your chosen device and test the microphone, speakers or headphones and camera. Check that any page or written working you intend to show is readable.

  2. Have the work ready

    Send or open the agreed question, text or sample of work so lesson time can focus on learning. Keep paper and a pen within reach. For practical tasks, confirm the materials and camera position with the tutor in advance.

  3. Share only the material needed

    Close private tabs and notifications before screen sharing, and use an individual window when practical. Keep passwords and private account details out of shared work; use dummy information for software tasks. Check installation restrictions before using a school-managed device.

  4. Agree a connection fallback

    Decide how to contact each other if the call drops and what to try first. If sound or shared work is repeatedly unusable, discuss another setup before continuing. Confirm how an interrupted lesson would be handled, including any charge or rearrangement.

Make the lesson usable for the learner

Describe the practical adjustment that would help: larger text, a readable digital copy of the material, written instructions alongside speech, time to answer, or planned breaks. Test the actual resource and device together. If captions or other access features are needed, check that they work in the agreed meeting setup; a platform feature alone does not establish that the whole lesson is accessible.

For a learner who finds sustained screen work difficult, discuss short activities with clear stopping points and work on paper between online explanations. Build in time for the learner to attempt something, rather than filling the session with continuous talking.

For children, NSPCC guidance for tutors recommends another adult within earshot and the option for a parent to sit in. Agree the parent or carer’s role, how the learner can ask for help, and how contact outside lessons will go through the parent. Discuss meeting privacy and how to raise a concern before lessons start. The parent guide to online tutoring safety gives a fuller checklist.

Next step

Compare the cost of a workable lesson plan

Latimer lessons are pay as you go, and tutors set their own rates. Check the current profile rate, then confirm the length and total price of the lesson you are arranging. Compare what fits your budget over several lessons, including time for independent practice, rather than assuming more sessions will always be more useful.

What the price covers
Ask whether preparation, resources, marking or feedback between lessons are included or charged separately. Confirm this for the arrangement you are considering.
A manageable schedule
Agree lesson times, frequency and expected work between meetings. Leave enough time for the learner to try the agreed practice so the next lesson can respond to it.
Changes and missed sessions
Check cancellation, rescheduling and technical-interruption arrangements before booking. Pay-as-you-go billing does not tell you the terms for a particular missed or interrupted lesson.

Next step

From choosing a tutor to your first lesson

You can browse the tutor directory or make a free matching request. Share the learning goal, current difficulty, preferred times, budget and the adjustments needed for online lessons.

For an overview of choosing and arranging tuition with Latimer, read how the tutoring platform works before making an enquiry.

  1. Use the introductory meeting

    Latimer offers a free introductory meeting to discuss goals, teaching approach and arrangements. Use it to decide whether to proceed and agree what the first paid lesson should address.

  2. Choose a focused starting point

    Bring one relevant sample of work or describe one task the learner finds difficult. Agree a first lesson goal that is specific enough to review, instead of trying to cover every concern at once.

  3. Keep a useful record between lessons

    Save the agreed notes or corrected work and record any questions from independent practice. Return to those questions at the next meeting and adjust the plan if the same difficulty keeps recurring.

Support and clarity

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions people ask most often.

Is online tutoring as effective as in-person tutoring?

The Education Endowment Foundation’s 2020 remote-learning review emphasises clear explanations, support and feedback over the delivery medium. Its findings draw on varied settings and do not promise identical outcomes for every private learner. Look for a setup in which the tutor can understand the difficulty, respond to an attempt and check what the learner can do afterwards. If the task needs physical assistance or a screen makes participation difficult, discuss another format.

Can I use a phone for online tutoring?

Check with the tutor before relying on one. Test whether you can read the material, follow the call and show your own work comfortably on that screen. A larger screen may be more practical when switching between a document and the meeting. Confirm any device or software requirements for the particular activity before buying equipment.

Do I have to use Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is the default platform for Latimer lessons, but the tutor and learner can agree an alternative. Raise any access needs or device restrictions before the first lesson so you can confirm a suitable setup.

Are online lessons recorded?

Ask whether recording is available and appropriate; do not assume it is included. For sessions involving children, NSPCC recording guidance recommends a clear purpose, written agreement, and clarity about access, storage and how long recordings are kept. Confirm the arrangement before anyone records. Shared notes and corrected work can also provide material to revisit.

How often should I book online tuition?

Agree a starting schedule around the goal, the learner’s workload and the time available to practise. Review it using actual work: what can the learner now do independently, and where is help still needed? Confirm frequency and lesson length with the tutor, and adjust them if the workload is not manageable.

Is the introductory meeting a free lesson?

It is a free introductory meeting for discussing goals, teaching approach and practical arrangements. Treat it as a chance to assess fit and plan a first lesson, rather than expecting a complete teaching session.

Can I ask for an online tutor without knowing the right subject or level?

Describe the task and the help you are looking for in the matching request. For example, explain what you need to practise, what you already find manageable and where you get stuck. Include any course information you have, but keep the learning need clear even if you are unsure which label fits.
