I took some iTalki lessons, that may be an alternative for you if interested.
But I had done quite a bit of self-study beforehand, I just thought that, learning to actually converse will be too hard with talking to myself in the shower.
I mean that’ll heavily depend and the teacher and their methodology. Just as there’s no one way to teach in person, there’s no one was to teach online
I have taken online japanese classes over zoom through my local community College. We basically work our way through the Genki textbooks. I think there are a few benefits if you can afford it, such as having people that are at your level to practice with, having a teacher to ask questions to, and having a set schedule for learning/studying/homework.
I found 1-on-1 iTalki sessions to be very helpful. I would self-study as much as possible, and once a week check in with the tutor to practise the new things I had learned. They wrote down what I said as I was speaking, and when I was done we went through it to correct all my mistakes. I progressed a lot during that time.
My first year of Japanese was online (I was a freshman in hs) due to the pandemic. It was okay, but I didn’t learn as much as I do now in-person

1 on 1 or as a group?
