You should have access to an internet connection with a speed of at least 20 Mbps to:
- Give your lessons online
- Accept lesson requests from students
- Communicate with your students and manage your teaching profile.
You can test your connection speed here and improve your connection speed here.
- Video Communication Tools
You need to download, install and test at least 1 of these communication tools before your first lesson. All are free to use for calling between users.
- Test your Skype connection
- Verify Hangouts Sound and Video
- Facetime requirements
- QQ System requirements
To protect your privacy, do not give out your personal account information to students or post it on your profile. When a student requests a session with you, italki will provide you and your student with the contact details so that you can add each other on your chosen communication platform.

- Microphone and/or webcam
You must have a webcam and microphone. Headphones are also recommended.
Using an external camera or microphone typically provides better audio/video quality than using your device's built-in camera or microphone.
