How It Works
Learn safely from anywhere with Google Classroom and Google Meet.
With Pixel Perfect Academy, you can learn safely from anywhere. We use Google Classroom as our virtual learning environment and Google Meet for one-to-one sessions. Once you sign up with us either for tutoring or courses, we will send you a classroom code on Google Classroom which will be solely for you. There, your tutor will share resources and links and you will have access to these anytime. We can also record our one-to-one sessions so you will be able to replay these if necessary – anywhere, anytime.
