Important Information
We recommend that you use a laptop or desktop computer for lessons with an internal camera and microphone. Some students use a tablet as well. Mobile phones are not recommended for lessons because you won’t be able to see your teacher very well when they demonstrate technique.
If you can get an external microphone for your lessons, it will also help your teacher to hear you better and external speakers might help you to hear your teacher.
You will also need a strong wifi or wired internet (ethernet) connection, good lighting, and a quiet space if possible.
You might want to have a pair of head phones available if your space has a lot of distractions, but remember that you won’t be able to hear yourself as well!
