All packages are billed by term and include bundled lesson rates, reports, and exam preparation. Flexible private lessons are available, though do not include structured program planning, reports, or exam pathways — the teacher is not directly responsible for your exam preparation and readiness. Suitable for people seeking casual, leisure lessons. Exact pricing is determined after your first lesson (assessment), because it depends on lesson length and program structure outlined by the teacher.
