Sessions happen on a live interactive whiteboard via video call. Your Washington student can see Mr. Neal, the whiteboard, Desmos, and screen-shares simultaneously. No commute, no setup.

A laptop or tablet (for the whiteboard), a stable internet connection, and a quiet space. A second screen helps but isn’t required.

We pause the timer until you reconnect. Sessions never get cut short due to tech issues on your end.
