As a tutor and school librarian, I have worked with dozens of students on their writing, information literacy skills, and reading comprehension.

**What I’ve Learned from Tutoring Online**

2. Be adaptable!

Technology, of course, is very powerful. It has allowed most of us to work remotely (and successfully) during social distancing. But I have run into a number of technology issues with my students. One student wasn’t able to use a browser that’s compatible with a tutoring platform. At various times, students’ audio and video failed to work, whether it be wifi buffering or a setting issue. The key is willingness to use an alternative online tutoring platform.
