If any teacher cannot teach a class, for any reason, we ask that they contact another qualified teacher and ask if they can substitute for the class in question.
Do I have to teach from a certain place?
The beauty of our cyber classrooms is that the teacher can teach from anywhere in the world. That being said we do ask that the teacher teach from a professional environment. While high-speed access is a requirement, no background noise or distractions are just as crucial. There should be a plain wall or a tasteful painting behind the teacher, and the teacher should be dressed professionally.
