ONLINE MATHS LESSONS F.A.Q.

How much do an online maths lessons cost?

Online maths lessons cost  €50/ hour.

How can I pay for online maths lessons?

You can pay via Revolut, BIZUM, or PayPal or via a bank transfer. Please pay before the lesson.

How do I schedule a lesson online maths lessons?

The lessons are on the same day and time every week. Parents look at their child’s timetable and recommend to me possible appointment times. Subsequently I enter their details into my Google calendar, this will also include the link for the Zoom lesson. Before the lesson begins the student will receive a notification.

If you would like to change the day and time then please contact me. However I may not always be able to change in the timetable.

Which exams do you prepare students for?

I prepare my students to follow the British Curriculum Key Stages 3 to 5. This includes the iGCSE and A-Level Exams. I also teach the International Baccalaureate Analysis and Approaches at standard level and higher level. Additionally I teach the Irish Leaving certificate. I am also happy to help in preparing for entrance exams for international schools.

How do online maths lessons work? How can you write on the screen?

I use Zoom Cloud Meeting Software to instruct the lesson. In my online classroom for my student and I to write on the screen in the two-way interactive whiteboard there are two options. We can either use a graphics tablet, I personally use the wacom intuos and a Mac but most of my students prefer to use their iPad and a bluetooth stylus such as the Adonit Jot Touch or Apple Pencil.

Is there a live video stream?

We also have a live video stream, during the online maths lesson. Therefore my student and I can see each other on video whilst we are working on the whiteboard. I also use a webcam to get a good clear image.

What about if the homework is online?

Sometimes the homework task requires that we complete some exercises online. This is not a problem because Zoom offers a share screen function. Both my student and I can see whatever I put on my computer screen. Additionally we can both write and annotate on top of the screen.

The homework is a paper handout?

If the teacher has given or emailed a worksheet to complete then the student usually takes a picture and sends it to me via Whatsapp. Alternatively they can  forward me the email and I put it on my computer screen during the lesson. Then we use a combination of the share screen function and the interactive whiteboard to go through the exercises.

Can they record the lesson and watch it later?

There is also an option to record the online maths lesson. The student needs to let me know at the beginning of the class so I can start recording.

How does the student start their online maths lessons? Does it work for all devices?

When we are ready to start I will email or text a link to the student. Then the student simply clicks on the link to begin the lesson. There is no need to download an app or have a specific device. Some students like to have the Zoom app but it isn’t needed. The link is also included in the Google Calendar.

Can I switch between private lessons and online maths lessons?

Of course. This option works very well for families that travel a lot and do not want to disrupt their child’s education. You can read more about private maths lessons here.
