Personalized Attention, Maximum Learning:
We prioritize quality over quantity. Our in-person classes are intentionally kept small, with a maximum of 2 to 6 students per class, depending on the topic. This ensures each student receives individualized attention, ample support, and a truly immersive learning experience.
1-2-1 Tuition for a Bespoke Experience:
For those seeking a truly personalized learning experience, we offer 1-2-1 tuition for any of our courses. This exclusive option allows you to tailor the content and pace to your specific needs and goals. Please note that the cost for 1-2-1 tuition is double the standard course price, reflecting the dedicated attention and resources provided.
Plan Ahead & Secure Your Spot:
Due to our limited class sizes, we recommend booking your course well in advance to avoid disappointment. If you have a specific date in mind, you can secure your spot with a 10% non-refundable deposit. The remaining balance is due 4 weeks before the course start date.
