Ground Rules

  • Avoid all distractions, e.g. turn off your phone, the TV
  • If you are in a live lesson, make sure you only comment in the chat/unmute your microphone when the teacher asks
  • When emailing teachers, make sure you are polite and formal, using the template below:

Dear [teacher’s name],
Please can you help me…/Please find my homework attached.
Thank you,
[student name]
