Spending time organizing and setting up letter tiles and handouts is an inefficient use of your time. Our solution frees you up to spend less time rummaging through materials and more time changing lives.

Barton has been my go-to for a strong Orton-Gillingham based program that gets results. Whizzimo has provided the online tools and platform to allow me to work with students an hour away, across the country and even as far away as Brazil and Germany!

Reach More Students in Less Time

Stop being limited to students in your vicinity and start teaching students around the country - or the world! Even families in your area may appreciate having one less activity to travel to during their busy weeks.

I love using Barton Remote Tutoring System on Whizzimo! I have many online students, and this saves me so much time. Each lesson is complete, including all of the student pages, eliminating the need to waste time during lessons. Some of my in-person students also prefer using Whizzimo now for their lessons because my ability to move faster between activities keeps them more engaged.

Use a Barton-Recommended System

We worked with Susan Barton for over a year developing the content in the Barton Remote Tutoring System. Watch the video to the right for a quick overview of the program, and get started below.

I have been a Whizzimo user for over a year and have loved the opportunities it gives me with its interactive letter tiles when working with my students in an online setting. As a Barton tutor, I enjoy the ease of use of the pre-loaded Barton lessons within Whizzimo. It is a wonderful time saver for Barton tutors. Not only will I continue to use the Barton specific lessons, this system also gives me the option of creating my own review lessons and targeted word lists using Whizzimo’s core functionality to further individualize my tutoring for each student.

DOES THE REMOTE TUTORING SYSTEM WORK ON CHROMEBOOKS?

Yes. Under certain conditions, our remote tutoring system will work on a Chromebook. But before you purchase our remote tutoring system, make sure your student has the ability to install apps onto their Chromebook. This support article provides more information.

does the remote tutoring system work on tablets?

No. That’s because web meeting apps like Skype and Zoom.us do not support sharing remote control of the mouse on an iPad or tablet. If you want to use the Barton Tiles App on an iPad or Android tablet to do in-person tutoring, contact Barton Reading & Spelling directly at 408-559-3652.

Who is eligible for the remote tutoring system?

Anyone who has purchased a Barton Level is able to purchase that Remote Tutoring System level. For example, if you have purchased levels 1-8 of the Barton System, you can purchase levels 1-8 of the Remote Tutoring System.

WHAT'S INCLUDED?

Each level of the Whizzimo Barton Remote Tutoring System includes all of the online tiles and pre-built words needed to teach that level, plus all of the student pages for that level.

What Hardware and Software is required to Run the Remote Tutoring System?

All that's required to use the Remote Tutoring System is:

An active Whizzimo Subscription
A Mac or Windows computer
The Chrome or Safari Browser
A screensharing program (we recommend the free plan from Zoom.us).

These requirements are for both the teacher and the student.

In order to do remote tutoring, do both the Tutor AND the student need a Whizzimo subscription and the various Barton levels, or just the tutor?

Just the tutor needs a Whizzimo subscription and the Remote Tutoring levels. You're able to share mouse control with the student so that he or she can both interact with the content using his or her mouse.
