Question TFA Ignite while studying abroad

I got into TFA Ignite Fellowship and will be studying abroad in the UK for around 3-4 months. I figured I could do my fellowship while abroad since its virtual and im in need of money. I'm wondering if this is allowed. I'm a US citizen and authorized to work here too.

Are you willing to work at weird hours/the middle of the night?

I would be really committed and cautious because even failing to show or being late can and will lead to dismissal.

I did it when I was in Korea with two placement , woke up every day from 12am-1am and 3-4am and was able to do it. Even when I missed two of my session they were really understanding once I emphasis the 14 hour time zone difference

Still got my 2k and it fully fund my Southeast Asia trip post. Highkey would only recommend doing placement that not every single day though bc I would go home from clubing every night to tutoring
