I've been doing maths tutoring online for a couple years now so I wanted to share how I do that with anyone wanting to switch over from face to face tutoring, due to the COVID-19 situation. This is also a video for businesses who make online whiteboards, to show them the kind of features that I, as a tutor, want from their software.

I talk about how you can use a stylus or webcam to show your student what you're writing; it can be a laptop with a built-in stylus, an external wacom tablet, a universal stylus with a touchscreen, or an external webcam pointed down at a notebook. I've found that it's not necessary for the student to also have a way of writing, as they can just talk me through what they would do, as I write what they're saying on the online whiteboard.

I forgot to talk about audio. I mostly just use a phone call, but sometimes skype or google hangouts.
