Getting started with SyncSpark

Five short videos for parents, 8 minutes in all: how it works, the right room, how your child talks to the tutor, homework, and your first week.

1. 1Meet SyncSparkWhat it is, and a quick tour of the learner view and the Guardian area.1:39
2. 2A quiet roomThe microphone hears every voice, so one child in a quiet room works best.1:26
3. 3How to talk to SyncSparkInterrupting, thinking out loud, what to say when stuck, and how to stop.2:02
4. 4Homework, the best wayGood photos, a note for the tutor, and what happens before your child presses Play.1:34
5. 5Your first weekThe first sessions to do together, and when to step back.1:35

The family in the videos is made up. The voices of the child and the tutor are re-created; SyncSpark never records your child’s voice. Already using SyncSpark? The same videos are in the Guardian area, under Parent guide.
