  8. Tutoring to Go –

    The font had capital letters mixed in with lower case letters, example “eveR” and “aNd”. While the capital letters were sized correctly, it still is not a good idea to show capital letters randomly where lower case letters should be when teaching grammar. Also, there were a lot of typos. For example, on the “Pick One” worksheet the ‘correct’ answer is B. “My name is Kate.” she said. There should be a comma after Kate, not a period. This error is throughout the bundle, so I am thinking that this was not a one time misunderstanding. I cannot use this product with that many errors. I was disappointed to spend $4.50 on something I cannot use for the above reasons. Perhaps these can be fixed and then have an update?

Downloads

How do I access my downloads?

Right after you check out, your download links are on the order confirmation page, and your receipt email has the same links. Don’t see the email? Check your spam or promotions folder.

You can also grab your files anytime: log in and go to My Account > Downloads.

My download is a .zip file. How do I open it?

Each resource downloads as a .zip folder that holds all of its files.

  • iPhone or iPad: open the Files app, find the zip in Downloads, and tap it. It unzips into a folder you can open.
  • Mac: double-click the zip.
  • Windows: right-click the zip and choose Extract All.
My file won’t open or shows a file-path error.

This usually happens on Windows when the files are unzipped inside the Downloads folder, because the folder path gets too long. Move the zip to your Desktop, then right-click it and choose Extract All.

Still stuck? Reach out and I’ll help.

Do I need an account?

No, you can check out without signing up. An account is created for you automatically with the email you use at checkout, and you’ll get an email to set your password. If you already have an account, your order is added to it.
