[ How to conduct a lesson ]

1. Send a contact request to the Student

Please send a contact request (= a brief message) to the student from your Teams account.

*For students you have already called on Teams before,
 you can call them directly without sending a contact request.
 However, the student may have logged into a different Teams account.
 If they do not answer your call, please be sure to follow Steps 1-3 below to call them.

  1. Step 1: Go to “Tutor’s MyPage > Booked Lessons > Details > How to call”.
  2. Step 2: Click “Invitation Link”.

  3. Step 3: Teams will open and you are already in the chat room with the student.
    Send a contact request (= a brief message) to the student at least a few minutes prior to the lesson time.
    • * Message Example: "Hello, my name is James from Eigox.”
    • * Once the student accepts your message (= contact request), it enables you to make a video call to him/ her.
    • * Your student might send you a contact request before you send him/ her a contact request. If this happens, please accept his/ her request.

2. Call the student

  • If the student doesn't answer, call them a few times during the lesson time.
