This also varies from company to company. Most online tutoring companies use a server that acts as a home base for students, parents and tutors to log into. Many of them have drawing boards that act like a chalkboard for tutors that the students and teachers can access at the same time.

Phone headsets or emails are a common way for teachers and students to communicate about work, ask questions and give feedback. Sometimes video demonstrations are offered as well.
