from the lessons, iPads are not recommended at this time. Some knowledge of typing, even the two-finger kind, is recommended.

for an introduction to the workspace. Your teacher will be waiting for you.

What if the teacher misses a lesson?

The work will be corrected and returned to the student who will then complete the corrections, before any more homework is given. Homework is custom- made for each student and follows the student's level in each subject.
