Default Tongue position in /s/ sound
My question is, what is the correct placement of the tongue in the /s/ sound, relative to the teeth? I'm aware it is behind the teeth, but how far? Does it make a difference if the tip is resting down, or just straight forward?

I am just trying to confirm the absolute correct way, and if there's different positions (of the tongue) that produce the sound properly as well.

Thank you very much.
