Your teacher should contact you first on Skype. However, if you would like to send a contact request first, you can follow these steps:
Look for the “Add a contact” icon in the Skype window. It could be at the bottom (as shown below) or in the top right corner. You can also find "Add a contact" in the CONTACTS menu.
In the next window, search for the person using their Skype username (this works best), or you can use a person’s name, phone number or email address.
Note: If you search with the Skype username, email address or phone number, there will be only one match. If you use the person’s full name, there can be many matches. You should carefully choose the correct person.
Confirm that it’s the person you want to connect with and click “Add”.
The final step is to send a message to the person.
When you add your teacher, be sure to introduce yourself. Write something like this:
Hi,
My name is ____. I will take lessons with you on The English Farm.
I look forward to meeting you.
_____
Finally, click “Send request”.
