What tasks are most effective in online one-to-one classes for kids?

What is it about?

This article tries to answer the question: what tasks work best for beginner-level kids in online one-to-one classes. In the article, we look at four tasks.

We then look at the interactions between the teachers and students using these tasks and draw conclusions about which tasks work best and why.
