​When are tutoring sessions held? There are no specific times at which sessions are held. The only stipulation is that meetings are held online using either Google Classroom or Zoom. At AMELE, our goal is to connect tutors and tutees so that both can schedule suitable meeting times.
What happens during tutoring sessions? The sessions last 30 minutes. Of those 30 minutes, 10 minutes are designated for homework and school related topics, while the other 20 minutes are typically about a topic given that week beforehand using Google Classroom. The students will discuss the topics and share their own opinions. This is what will help them cultivate confidence and communication.
