Do you have to turn on camera while on lesson with your teachers?

Do you see each other’s face or just voice call? If you turn on camera, where do you look? Do you look straight to the camera at the top of your laptop/phone so it doesn’t look like you are looking at teachers’ boobs if you look at the screen? Lol.

It depends on the student. As a tutor, I respect my students' wishes if they don't wanna use the web cam, but as a tutor, I would always choose to video chat with them. I think the rule of thumb is that it's the student who decides whether to use voice call or video chat, not the tutor or teacher. You wait for the student to decide, not the other way around.

In my opinion, voice call is fine if you're an advanced student but if you're a beginner, it's better to video chat so that you could see how the teacher/tutor speaks and how they would pronounce words

From a tutor's point of view, you don't have to turn your camera on. Though it helps the tutor to see how your mouth moves when you speak.

As a student and for language exchange I prefer to use the camera. Body language, facial expressions, and fanciful hand gestures (when you can't find the word, but can make a great puppet show with your hands) really helps a lot. I would personally never go back to just voice calls if I can help it.

All that said, I think most tutors/teachers are happy to go along with the student's preference. The student is paying after all.

As a teacher, I am happy if the student turn on their camera but it is also okay if they won't. It is a matter of choice or preference.

As a student it helps to see the tutor/teacher speaking and their body language, which is a vital clue we use in communicating anyway.

But for screen sharing it is often switched of or reverts to a small area of screen where I can see the other person, then I can switch my eyes to the smaller window when needed or when I choose.
