Four headaches every Ringle tutor has encountered
- You go to highlight or correct one phrase mid-lesson and totally miss what your student is saying. Formatting Shortcuts
- Cancelling a lesson you double-booked just earned you a strike. Calendar Defender
- A 7-minute break for a 12-minute feedback report. Feedback Exporter
- “bakminjun” is back, but your last lesson was 6 months ago and you have no idea who he is. Student Tracker
Sound familiar?
Tutor Flow fixes all four problems and then some,
on the Ringle pages you already use.
Formatting Shortcuts Mark mistakes without missing a word.
A few simple shortcuts take care of bolding, insertions, corrections, and highlights, so nothing your student says slips by while you’re clicking around.
- *word*Type an asterisk and the closing one appears. Type your text, press Tab or Enter, and it turns bold.
- [word]Type an opening bracket and the closing one appears. Press Tab or Enter, and the text inside turns Ringle orange for a quick insertion.
- -wordType a hyphen before a word you can already tell is incorrect, and press Tab. It strikes out the word just like ⌘/Ctrl 2 would. Type your correction and press Tab again to keep typing in Ringle’s default grey.
- “ ”Type an opening quotation mark and the closing one appears, so whatever you type goes inside the quote. Press Tab to jump past the closing mark, or Enter to start a new line after it.
- ⌘/Ctrl 3 · 4⌘/Ctrl 3 turns yellow highlighting on and off, and ⌘/Ctrl 4 switches between pink, green and no highlighting. These can be triggered from both the number row and the 10-key pad.
Keyboard formattingCorrections, quotations, boldings and highlights, all from the keyboard.
Expanded zoomRingle’s text size buttons now offer far more sizes, so you can pick what suits your screen and your eyes. Tutor Flow remembers your setting between lessons.
Active line centerAs you type, the page scrolls with you, so however long the transcript gets, the line you’re on stays in view.
Calendar Defender Get an actual overview of your schedule before you open a timeslot.
Sign in with Google and choose which calendars to show. Your events appear right on Ringle’s schedule page, slots they cover can’t be opened by an accidental click, and recurring slots are checked for conflicts before you confirm. Access is read-only, so Tutor Flow can’t change anything in your calendar.
Your Google Calendar events, right on the schedule page.
- ·Regular events and holidays each get their own color, so they stand out.
- ·The Manual Block feature allows tutors to block off time by hand for anything that hasn’t yet been added to your calendar.
Tutor Flow’s Calendar Defender allows tutors to spot scheduling conflicts immediately.
- ·Want to offer a favorite student a recurring class every Monday, 4:00–4:40 p.m., for the next four weeks? Tutor Flow checks every one of those Mondays against your calendar in an instant.
- ·If any of them clash, you’ll see a list of conflicts to work around before you confirm the slot. No more clicking through your calendar week by week.
Feedback Exporter Bold a term in your paraphrase. It arrives as a Key Expression.
No more combing through your notes after class and adding Key Expressions one . . . at . . . a time.
Tutor Flow brings Ringle’s purple export arrow into the classroom, so you can build the Feedback Report while you go over the transcript with your student. Bold the phrases you want them to remember and click the arrow. When you open the report, each paraphrase is already there with its Key Expressions marked. Write your message and explanations, then hit ‘Submit’. Try it below.
Paraphrase exportTwo paraphrases exported to the Feedback Report, Key Expressions included.
Message zoomSmall screens can make it hard to comfortably read what you’re writing in your feedback message to students. Tutor Flow adds zoom buttons to the text editor to make proofreading easier on the eyes.
Key Expression RepairDeleting feedback cards from Ringle’s Feedback Report jumbles up the Key Expressions for every card that follows. Tutor Flow puts them back where they belong.
Student Tracker Never go into a lesson blind.
The lesson page says “bakminjun,” and your old feedback reports are addressed to “Mike.” He remembers you, which is why he booked again. Tutor Flow makes sure you remember him too.
Look up anyone you’ve taught by name or lesson ID, tag regulars and favorites, and keep notes on their level, habits, and goals. They’ll be waiting the next time he books, whether that’s next week or next spring.
Your rosterbakminjun is back, but he’s not a regular, so he isn’t front of mind.
His profileRingle calls him bakminjun. You know him as Mike.
Your notesEverything you’d have forgotten in six months, right where you left it.
Built by a tutor, for tutors.
Tutor Flow started as one Ringle tutor’s quest to find a way to survive long days of back-to-back lessons with his sanity intact. It has been used and perfected in real lessons since day one, and after many tweaks and adjustments, the days of drowning in backlogged feedback reports are a thing of the past!
Ringle may make tweaks to the design and structure of its site in ways that affect Tutor Flow’s functionality, but our built-in error reporting features allow tutors to submit any bugs or issues they encounter along with information about the page on which they occur in order to help our support team get the extension back up and running ASAP. Any major fixes will be recorded in the changelog.
