This paper is my humble contribution to the advancement of Distance Tutoring and e-Learning in Serbia where technical requirements have made it possible for educators to develop their skills in tutoring online. The paper will examine some advantages and disadvantages of the leading industry platform Adobe Connect Pro Meeting and my personal experience in engaging students to develop their skills in presenting content online to other students of the world.
