He can teach you the basics and correct bad early habits in a way no distance learning method can.
She will also be able to keep you motivated during the initial step learning curve.
After you get the basics you can complement it with an app.
For that you would need a digital piano that can connect to a computer or tablet with an usb cable, or Bluetooth.
Accoustic pianos also work, but the app will be capturing the sound and not receiving MIDI electrical inputs, which is more error prone and can offer a worse experience when playing multiple notes together.
The best app is called Piano Marvel, but you can easily google other options too.
I mean:
Here is a chord:
C-E-G
Here are two more:
F-A-C
G-B-D

Anyway, mostly it is a matter of calendar time (like all learning). Starting now is the way to get the most time and the details will sort themselves out later.

Good luck.
