Breakout rooms for concurrent 1:1 tutorials?

I'm a maths/science teacher. I also tutor maths after school, helping high school kids grades 7 - 12 (Australian system).

I have several students that I tutor 1:1 at various times during the week. Since covid-19, I have already been using Zoom for this (free version). I use the whiteboard and screen share extensively. Whiteboard to write equations etc, screen share to view textbooks etc and annotate on top of that. It works really well with live video and audio, just as good as being in the room.

I want to know if I can scale up my operation on Zoom. In my physical classroom, I can easily tutor 2 kids on completely different topics simultaneously. Switching between the students - I can tutor 1 of them (a grade 8 for example) and another (a grade 9). Basically, while one student does a problem, I teach the other one, then switch around every couple of minutes, marking, correcting and discussing as we go along.

Can I do this on Zoom? I need to effectively isolate the students from one another. In the physical classroom this is obvious, I just seat them at different desks and its clear who I am talking to when I sit next to a student. In Zoom how is this done? I think it would need breakout rooms - put each student in a separate room. Question is - is it possible to screen share and use whiteboard separately in the different breakout rooms like this?

Top answer

Yes, it is possible to share the screen in Zoom and use the whiteboard separately in different breakout rooms. When you share the screen, all participants in the meeting can see the content that is displayed on the screen, including the whiteboard. However, if you use the breakout rooms, participants in the breakout rooms can access the whiteboard and use it separately.

To use the whiteboard separately in the breakout rooms, you must ensure that the whiteboard is available to participants in the breakout rooms. You can do this by ensuring that the whiteboard is enabled in the breakout room settings. When breakout rooms are enabled, participants in the rooms can access the whiteboard by clicking the "Whiteboard" icon in the Zoom app (if desired).
