The lesson is conducted with both the coach and student at home, connected through Skype or another VoIP software. It starts at the time specified in the eGG-one school booking system.

Another email will be sent 24 hours before the lesson is due to start. Coaches are aware that we use email to communicate with them. In addition, a booking is displayed in blue on their calendar and on their dashboard.

Experience tells us that your coach would be very unlikely to miss a lesson :)
