INDIVIDUAL LESSONS

The number of lessons and the program are organized in conjunction with persons interested. For 2 participants there is a reduction of 40% for the course.

COURSES FOR GROUPS Upon request we can organize ordinary and special courses for groups for any period of the year. The courses are tailored to the students needs in agreement with the students themselves.

• Group lessons are usually held in the mornings, however, occasionally these group lessons may be scheduled in the afternoon.
• Individual lessons are generally held before or after group classes.
• If there are 1-2 students for a particular level, the Standard 4 lesson course will be converted to 2 lessons of individual tuition and the Intensive 6 lessons course will be converted to 3 lessons of individual tuition.
• In the event that there are only 3 students for a particular level, the number of lessons for the class will be reduced by 1 lesson per day (for example: 3 lessons instead of 4 for the Standard class) given the more intense nature of a small class size.
• The tuition fee paid for group classes can NOT be transferred to individual classes, after the beginning of a course.
