Audio checker
Here is a comprehensive audio checker to make sure that you can check everything is running smoothly prior to a lesson.
Have you joined audio?
Once your lesson has started, you will be prompted to join audio. You can also do this manually by clicking on the audio icon in the top left corner of the screen.
Is your headset connected to the correct ports?
Your local computer network may be experiencing high traffic – try refreshing your web browser. Other running applications on your computer may be slowing the lesson down.
Check for other applications running on your computer – close any you do not need for your lesson. You may have a bad connection to our server – click refresh your web browser to refresh your connection.

Using a USB mic
If using a USB mic, make sure your mic is connected prior to starting the lesson.
What do you need?
You don’t need any extra or specialist equipment to use Tute. Pupils will need a PC with internet access via a browser, ideally via Chrome or IE, and the latest version of Adobe Flash installed.
You will also need a headset with inbuilt microphone to be able to talk with and listen to the teacher, plus a webcam if you want to be seen.
For the best results we recommend a wired connection to the internet.There are no other requirements.
