Limelight
Make 1-on-1 online tutoring crystal clear
In a tutoring session your student watches your shared screen — and a small cursor and quick clicks lose them. Limelight spotlights your pointer and lets you circle exactly the step you are explaining, live.
Tutoring is about guiding attention one step at a time. When a student cannot see where your cursor is or which button you clicked, they fall behind and stop asking. The default macOS pointer makes that worse on a video call.
Limelight puts a glowing spotlight on your cursor (⌃⌥1) so the student tracks you, and lets you draw on screen (⌃⌥3) to circle the next problem, underline the formula, or mark the answer — over any app, worksheet, PDF, or whiteboard.
It works over Zoom, Google Meet, or any tool you tutor in, never records anything, and is a one-time $15 with a 7-day free trial.
