Part 2: How Tutoring Works
Let’s see how Tutors will work with your students in
Foundations. We’ll explore:
✓ How to start a tutoring session
✓ How students interact with the Tutors online
✓ What happens after a tutoring session

✓ Tutors work online with students during your class’s regularly
scheduled Foundations session.
✓ Tutors will invite students to start a tutoring session—the
student just needs to be logged into Foundations.
✓ Tutoring sessions typically last 15 to 20 minutes.
How does tutoring work in Foundations?

How do students start working with a Tutor?
Log into
Foundations.

Study as you
usually would that
day, whether that’s
working in Guided
Study, the Wall of
Mastery, or the
Office building.

Once ready, the
Tutor will invite the
student. The
student will see an
onscreen pop-up of
the invitation.

Accept the tutor’s
invitation to start.

If a student cannot
accept, type a
message in the chat
box to let the Tutor
know.

accept, type a
message in the chat
box to let the Tutor
know.
The invitation will
expire if the student
does not respond.

How do students communicate with a Tutor?
Upon accepting a tutoring
invitation, students must allow
use of their computer
microphone.
Students should then be able
to hear and talk to the Tutor
through their headset and
microphone.
