In this video, I’m basically letting you come along for the real-time “help… what did I just do?” moment of switching from Zoom to Koala Go for my private online classes. I’m used to teaching reading, ESL, and math with my own routines, so moving into Koala Go (and Koala Playground) meant I had a ton of questions right away—how the gamification works, what I can customize, and how I’m actually going to run class smoothly without losing instructional time. I talk through what I’m noticing as I learn the platform, what feels different from Zoom, and where I’m getting stuck (and then problem-solving on the spot). One of my biggest takeaways is that Koala Pro’s teacher support is strong—and I’m not just saying that. While I was uploading the video, I watched Koala Go’s quick tutorials and immediately picked up extra steps I didn’t have when I recorded. If you’re considering Koala Go for tutoring or private classes, this video will help you anticipate the learning curve, understand the “playground” vibe, and start making gamification work for you instead of distracting from your teaching.
