Your student writes on their phone with a finger, like the tablet at the real interview, and you watch every stroke live.

Welcome!

Your teacher can see and hear you. If the connection gets weak, you can turn your camera off and keep talking. The lesson works with sound alone.

Connection unstable. Turning your camera off usually keeps the sound clear.

Your name, sound and camera

Your student sees this instead of "Teacher". First name is plenty. It is never sent to Patina and never stored with the lesson.

Speak, and the bar should move. If it doesn't, pick a different microphone.

Runs on a computer, not a phone. It uses some battery, so turn it off if the call gets choppy.
