All group classes will be recorded so students can watch the lesson in their own time. Students are free to contact me to ask clarifying questions.

Each group class will begin with a student voice survey, so I can understand students’ strengths and weaknesses, tailoring my lessons to their requests.

There will be regular student votes to decide what content we will cover.

I aim to have approximately 4-6 students per group class. This might be slightly more or slightly less depending on demand.

Parents will pay monthly at the start of the month for that month’s classes. Payments can be made in any currency. Alipay, WeChat, Mastercard and Visa are all accepted.

Each month’s fees must be pre-paid in advance.

The first month’s payment is taken as a non-refundable deposit.

After the first month, if you wish to cancel pre-paid classes, you will receive a 50% refund of any unused classes.

If a student is sick or unable to attend a single class, no refund will be given. Lessons are recorded for the student’s convenience so they are able to catch up when they are able.

The Pre-IGCSE English Group Class is aimed at KS3, years 7-9.

Every Thursday at 10:40-11:40 AM BST starting from Thurs 3rd September.

That’s 17:40 Beijing time by the way!

Sure!
