[nabs-l] Tutoring and outlook

[Elizabeth Mohnke]

Hello Anna,

As for your tutoring question, have you looked into whether or not you could
tutor students in person at your local university or community college? I
know some colleges and universities offer tutoring services on campus
through student employment. 

Additionally, you could advertise your desire for tutoring students through
the various math and science departments on campus. If you were to tutor
somewhere on campus, this would most likely resolve your inability to use
online tutoring platforms. 

Although, if you want to go the online route, could you advertise your own
tutoring services and tutor people through skype or something? I am honestly
not sure if any of these ideas help you, but I thought I would throw them
out there for consideration.

Warm regards,
Elizabeth

I have two questions.
First,
I am wondering about using outlook on an I-phone with Voice Over.  It seems
to work pretty well with VO but the problem I'm having is editing messages
that I'm typing.  It will read the text that I typed but if there is
something I need to correct, I cannot figure out how to get the cursor to go
to and stay in a chosen place to make corrections.  

Secondly,
I am curious about online tutoring, specifically tutoring math and science.
I have been wanting to do this for a while, but I don't know how to do it
with JAWS.  I have checked into a couple of online platforms but they use
things  like whiteboards and stuff that I don't know how to use at all, much
less with a screen reader.  So I guess my question is:  Is it possible for a
blind person to tutor STEM subjects online without a whole huge extra
effort?
Wondering if anyone has any experience or thoughts on that.

Thanks!

Anna E Givens
