You may be able to get a rabbi to teach you via Skype or Facetime for now.
Though, I know that isn’t the same as the real life experience.
Isn’t there a rule about practing mitzvot before conversion? I don’t know why the first three posters didn’t sway you not to convert.
Just in case, here goes:
Why be Jewish? Yes so you may feel connected to Judaism. So what. A lot of good Noahides feel this way. You can be a perfectly good person without becoming Jewish. Just observe the 7 Noahide Laws.
Being Jewish is joining a minority that much of the world cannot stand. You could be a victim of terror or a hate crime just for being Jewish. Why would anyone do that, seriously?
Are you sure that you really want to do this? Maybe take some time to think about it. You have your entire life to convert. It also affects relationships with family members, friends, and significant others.
Please think this through another time. You may realize this isn’t for you.
All the best.
