It was my first lesson to attend online craft lesson. Tutor is very kind and polite. From the very beginning, she accepted my lesson request and then put me into her Skype’s friend list and she sent me a warm remainder – List of items to get for class, quickly. In the lesson, after having a warm greeting and brief self introduction, we jumped into the theory part of making waistbeads. It included (1) Why we wear them, (2) Why they are only for women, (3) Reasons for different waistbeads and (4) When to get new waistbeads. Then, we started to make a waistbead! The lesson was really fun! Highly recommended.

Casual Friendly Easy to talk to

I enjoyed talking to Bonolo in a relaxing atmosphere. She answered my questions about South Africa and explained its history and culture. I realized after the class that we hadn't studied English expressions for travelling. I may have asked too many questions...

This lesson is based on the talk, not actual yoga practice. And it's mostly about her personal story about Buddhism. Good to know the different points of view about Buddhism and yoga, especially in South Africa. The teacher has good energy and leading skill for comfortable and pleasant discussion....

WiFiの状態が悪く、こちらが悪かったのか、先生のWiFiが悪かったのかはわからないんですが、声が途切れてしまって聞き取る事が難しかったです。きちんと授業を受ける事ができなかったので、評価は難しいです。
