the teaching was face-to-face

There are various ways you could phrase this, but the normal English equivalent to "presencial" as opposed to "a distancia", referring to education, is face-to-face and opposed to distance or online (teaching/learning). You could say literally "classes", but in this context I would use "teaching".

The classes (being ones) requiring physical attendance

A token alternative answer.

I've included a web ref. to face-to-face contact at Birkbeck (formerly Birkbeck College) of London Uni. in deference to Charles D.'s answer and his time there.
Example sentence:

Class attendance is an essential part of the student's intellectual development. Attendance is defined in this policy statement as the physical presence ...

Giving grades based on attendance would ensure more students are physically present in class, but giving grades based on participation or engagement ensures students are mentally present in class.

agree Charles Davis : My cover is blown, I see :-) (I wasn't at Birkbeck but I did once do some teaching there, covering for an absent colleague.)

Thanks. Yes, I do remember. I ought to have written: '....his time teaching there, to wit: face-to-face'.
