Yes. In a live online cello lesson, the teacher can hear tone, rhythm and intonation, and see posture, bow hold and how the left hand moves. A camera angle that shows the bow and fingerboard helps make feedback specific.

A quiet spot and cello set up before the lesson make it easier to focus.
The lesson goes better with a correctly sized cello, bow, rosin, endpin anchor, tuner, assigned music, quiet lesson space, and reliable internet so the first minutes can focus on music.
