You do not need a classroom suite. A modern browser on a laptop, tablet, or phone is enough for live educational sessions — if you set a few house rules.
Skilmore runs in a browser so families are not waiting on an app-store release to start. That also means a shared family tablet can work, as long as each child uses their own learner profile.
Charge devices the night before. A dead tablet at session time is the new “dog ate my homework”.
During a session, the device is for answering. Notifications off, extra tabs closed. After the session, the same device can go back to being a family iPad.
Parents often join on a second screen to watch progress without hovering over a shoulder.
Live sessions need a stable connection. If the line drops often, sit closer to the router or use a phone hotspot for the hour. Do not run a download in the background.
Reading about homeschooling helps. A session on your child’s actual subjects helps more.
