## Tutoring

**Paid addon** — A scheduling system for one-on-one tutoring sessions between students and teachers. Includes integrated video conferencing for live sessions.

## Overview

Tutoring allows teachers to set available hours for individual consultations, and students to book sessions during those hours. Sessions take place via video conferencing directly on the platform.
