XL Online – Zoom

Online tuition on Zoom

Zoom offers a video or audio connection between the learner and tutor, with the additional capabilities of screen sharing, file sharing and a whiteboard space where both can interact. It is of course a different experience to our preferred method of face-to-face interaction, but is obviously necessary at this time, and we have adopted the following plan for an online lesson.

  1. Book the lesson with Colleen (JHB) or Rhonnie (CT) at least 48 hours in advance – provisionally online slots are between 11:00 – 15:00 each week day.
  2. At the time of booking, please notify us of the topic to be covered in the session.
  3. The day before the lesson, we will send through an email with videos to be watched and/or worksheets to be completed before the lesson.
  4. On the day, we will send you a zoom ‘meeting code’ for the scheduled time. Please be ready to join the meeting on your device.

If you do group lessons, you can look forward to experiencing some one-on-one time with your tutor. Each hour of a group lesson will be substituted with a 30-minute video call – so a 2-hour group lesson will consist of 2 x 30-minute sessions separated by a 30-minute gap for you to practise on your own (e.g. zoom calls at 13:00-13:30pm & then 14:00-14:30pm). Private lessons will consist of the same duration as always, just online!
