Skype/Zoom 1:1 Lessons

Supplement your chosen course with a 1 hour 1:1 Skype lesson with Alice Giles. Once you have enrolled, you will be directed to a Calendar via a link (Calendly) where you can book the first available time that suits you, whatever your time zone. The allocated time slot is for 1 hour, which includes any time taken to set up and check connections.

There is no criteria for the lesson - it is intended to supplement the beginner courses, as well as any of the other courses, for students unable to attend in-person lessons, or for teachers who may have questions. I will send a Zoom link for you to click on to start the lesson, or send a contact request to your Skype name.

Please limit your bookings to a maximum of 2 hours per month. I will usually enter available times in the Calendly site in advance of each teaching term. The site will accept bookings up to a week in advance, to allow me sufficient notice of bookings.

Your Skype 1:1 enrollment pays for your first lesson. Any subsequent lessons will need to be paid directly to my PayPal account in advance of lessons, by arrangement. You can still use the Calendly booking system to arrange lesson times.

All prices are in US$.

Frequently Asked Questions


How does it work?
Once you enrol you will be able to access a Calendly calendar with the available dates, in your own time zone. Just choose the time which suits you best for your lesson.
What equipment do I need?
The main thing is for you to have good high speed uploading internet connection. If the connection is slow, it is sometimes fine for talking but can't cope with movement and music. If you are unsure, test this out with a friend first. If you prefer to use Zoom I can send a link prior to the lesson. It saves time in the lesson if you set up your device in advance, as though it was the head of the teacher: at least as high as your hands on the strings, slightly to your left side rather than frontal, and not too far away. You can test this ahead of time by using Photo booth or similar app on your device to capture what I will be seeing.
