Seriously: If you value it, take/fetch it yourself
Passive preferably, as I said just loud enough to play guitars over, and I can use it at home too if I want to listen to music around the house. They have a mains supply there so can use that.
EDIT: having audio gear at home (incl turntable & records) for the demonstration of riffs & techniques was one excuse I gave for not doing home visits. I used to say all my teaching resources are at home and not very portable. Natch, the other reason was the cost time and hassle of travel, which I wanted to avoid.

I try not to do many visits but these are young children who can't travel or parents can't be arsed to take them to my house. I too have to say that because I have to travel I can't take everything with me. But if its the choice between a bit of agg and losing work I know what I'd choose.
Remember, it's easier to criticise than create!
I got one so Mrs Snags could listen to podcasts from her phone around the place without needing earphones, and it has ended up being our portable hifi for holiday etc. (music on an SD card on the phone/laptop, bluetooth to the Anker).
I doubt it would handle two guitars + aux audio, though, and if your lessons/whatever are done "at volume" it might not have enough oomph. Easily loud enough to make talking over it a pain, though.

Its solely for playback really but once 2 guitars are playing you can't really hear the audio well on smaller speakers.
Bluetooth, aux etc. Sounds splendid for something SO small & portable. It'll go loud enough to down out my kids or to compete with my acoustic playing. Battery life is excellent.
Cheap too!

I've just done a lesson at the house and we tested it out with Spotify tunes and stuff. I'm quite impressed by its volume projection! For such a small device its surprisingly quite decent and allows acoustic guitars to be played along to it. ANd its got an aux in function which is a bonus.
I'm quite impressed so much I may just pick one up myself for listening to music around the house and any further home visits!
I had a similar reaction when I got mine. Tested it out expecting it to be pretty tinny, and was very impressed.
