The focus of the research was students’ views on the effectiveness and satisfaction of the webinar in terms of engagement, complexity, and task orientation. The respondents of the study consisted of 74 students of the master’s degree program in primary education. Data analysis used PLS-SEM to predict causal relationships among the variables understudied. The results showed that: 1) engagement gave an effect to effectivity, but did not give an effect to satisfaction, 2) complexity brought an effect to satisfaction but did not give an effect to effectivity, and 3) task orientation gave an effect to effectivity and satisfaction. Recommendations: 1) to increase the effectiveness of mathematics tutoring through webinars, it is necessary to increase student engagement and time efficiency of learning activities, and 2) to increase satisfaction with mathematics tutoring through webinars, it is necessary to improve the ease of implementing webinars (technical and procedures) and efficiency of learning time.
