Online Lessons

Have Online Lessons with MS Teams from the comfort of your Home or Office

The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdowns of 2019-2022 have made major changes in the way we work and study: more people than ever before work online from home.  And with this revolutionary change came massive improvements in online video platforms such as MS Teams or Google Meet. Here we will examine some of the advantages to having online English lessons.

For starters, you save big on travel time. Having in person lessons are great; but they involve a commute to and from the venue for the lesson. And, since most students like to have lessons either before or after work, this means traveling during rush hour, which of course means heavier traffic, getting stuck in traffic jams, arriving late, the stress of looking for a parking place, etc. Having  English lessons online changes all that: instead of spending 30-45 minutes in traffic or on the metro, you simply log into your MS Teams account from the comfort of your home or office and have the lesson. No more arriving 5-10 minutes late because of a traffic jam 🙂

Another benefit of having online English lessons is that it allows more time flexibility for lesson scheduling: because there is no before and after travel time to and from the lesson location, you can have a lesson on your lunch break. Or when you get home. Traveling on business used to mean canceling in person lessons; but with online lessons you can still have the lesson when away on business.

Another concern that students have is the audio and video quality of online lessons.  Signal interruptions, poor internet connections, poor sound quality are common concerns. While this may have been the case 5 or 10 years ago, today’s online applications are easier than ever to install, and offer excellent audio and video quality.  Most computers and laptops come with webcams and microphones these days, so you don’t even have to buy them. With broadband fiber optic speeds of 90-200 Mbps common these days in the EU,  the audio/video quality is very good. Most of my current online students were at first skeptical of having English lessons via MS Teams; but once they tried it they were surprised at how good the sound and video quality is.
