TutorExtra keeps up to speed with all the latest technology available to tutors, and among the most popular tools are the online whiteboards you can use to write notes during lessons, draw diagrams, and interact virtually with your students. These whiteboards allow for tutor-tutee collaboration and help to maintain a student’s concentration and interest during the session. Below is a list of the best online whiteboards, and their top features.
