If I get your point right, you're saying that teaching via skype or any chatting App on internet is less effective than face-to-face in real, If that what you want to say I totally agree with you, For me I can give you example to explain the reason more, I did try this once with a friend of mine form US, Here are the problems I felt during the voice conversation:
1- As any voice chatting you make via internet the voice isn't 100% clear using your word it's more "computerized" So for a not native speaker it's hareder than normal.
