For Tutors

International tutors will hopefully find BrowsePal useful. Many tutors, such as Chinese citizens, have been earning money by tutoring online. This usually consists of Skype phone calls to practice conversation, and sites like ChinesePod.com and www.chinese-forums.com have been used to match up tutors and students. Browsepal can be used by tutors and students to practice reading and pronunciation of online chinese text, such as those listed above.

If you are a tutor, you can use BrowsePal to simply surf to one of the sites listed above (or other material that you've found). By sharing the link with the student, they will see the same content that you see in your browser, and they can read the text aloud to you, as you correct their definitions and pronunciation. To do this, simply:
  1. Enter the desired web page in the box at the top of the BrowsePal page, and click 'go'.
  2. Click 'share' in the menubar, and send to the link to the student, either with Skype, or a chat program or email.
  3. That's it. The student should now be able to see the content that you are viewing on your BrowsePal page, even as you navigate the web, as long as you keep using the BrowsePal site. With conference calling, you can even hold online classes and teach many students at once.
Alternatively, if you are using Skype, simply set your Skype "mood" to be your BrowsePal sharing link. Then, anyone that can see you on Skype can view your BrowsePal session simply by clicking on the link in your Skype profile.
