Online lessons and Face-to-face lessons
Although there is flexibility with regard to the date and time of the lessons, the number of hours must be booked and paid for in full 10 days before the first lesson. A minimum of 5 hours must be booked and can be extended.
For face-to-face lessons it is recommended that each session be a minimum of 2 hours. The hourly fee for F2F lessons is £47.00 (this includes the cost of room booking).
Payment is either by bank transfer or PayPal. You must cover any transaction costs so that the full amount arrives. If less than 24 hours' notice is given (other than for illness or extenuating circumstances), the lesson cannot be rescheduled and you will be charged for the missed lesson.
If a student does not show up for an online lesson without prior notice of a delay, the teacher will wait for 15 minutes and then close the Zoom lesson and the lesson will be forfeited (unless there are extenuating circumstances) .
There is no booking/registration fee.

- Tailored study materials to suit your needs
- Suggested Social Activity and free time programme (not for English for Busy People)
