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 tablets and chromebooks?

The remote tutoring system does not work on tablets and Chromebooks because Zoom.us does not allow for sharing mouse control with your students on those devices. If you are interested in using Barton on a tablet for in person tutoring, please contact Barton Reading at 408-559-3652 to purchase the Barton Tiles App, which works on iPads and tablets that use the Android operating system.

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.
