Private Lessons FAQs
-
How many lessons per week?
You can do as many lessons per week as you like, with a minimum of two and taken in a single 100-minute block. The intensity of your schedule is entirely up to you. -
How are lessons scheduled?
We try to match your availability with a teacher’s schedule. In-person lessons are normally after 13:00, but online lessons can be arranged for mornings, afternoons or evenings. -
What platform is used online?
We use Microsoft Teams for online lessons. It’s easy to use and supports interactive, video-based learning with shared materials and feedback. -
What do I do before starting?
After booking, you’ll get a welcome email with key info, a placement test to assess your level, and a short questionnaire to help us customise your lessons. -
Can I reschedule lessons?
Yes, you can reschedule directly with your teacher if you give at least 24 hours’ notice. The lesson must be rescheduled within the same week. -
Is there a time limit to use lessons?
Private lessons must be used within the agreed time frame. For example, if you book 50 lessons over six months, they should be completed within that period or they may be forfeited.
