Students and recording clients can still get plenty out of my services online, almost forgetting that the tech is there in 1 to 1 lessons.
I can match your preferred tech or advise upon everything involved (a previous career in IT proves handy). My preference is currently Zoom but you may consider the various others including Skype, Facebook, Google, Apple Facetime, Instagram..........telephone?!
