Our au pair has been in touch with a local (ish) English school offering four hours of English classes each week for ?100 a month. Having been to one class, they have told her they will offer two hours of class time and give her a workbook to do at home because the Covid restrictions mean that they are limited as to the number of people in the class.


However ... the school is charging the same price for only two contact hours, hasn?t offered any Zoom or other virtual contact and the class has only three pupils (they say the maximum is six). Our au pair has asked the school if there are other classes she could join for more contact hours but they are not being helpful.


We are in correspondence with the school but can I ask others with more experience than me:

- does this sound right!? I haven?t dealt with English classes before but it seems unreasonable to charge for four contact hours and only offer two

- does anyone have a recommendation of a local(ish) alternative?


Thanks

    • Aleksandra was the driving force behind the conversion of what was a nice but very outdated house into what is now my beautiful, vibrant and modern home. I cannot recommend her enough- she was a pleasure to work with- she has an uncanny eye for detail and her sense of style is unparalleled. She knew where to push me beyond my “safe beige” colours but always kept my personality and preferences in mind. She sourced fabric / colours / lighting designs , she found local options for spectacular interior ideas in the kitchen , display cabinets , bathrooms , bedrooms and wardrobes. She never went beyond budget and was very timely in her execution. The result was a beautiful home that even after 8 years looks as stunning as it did when first put together. It is as liveable as it is beautiful and none of it would have been possible with Alexandra. I truly could not recommend her highly enough- there are few people with her work ethic and style. Thank you Alexandra !
    • The Lib Dems are against tightening visa requirements to live in the UK and against shrinking the university sector, and also (at least in Dulwich) against housing being built if it means that foreign students live in it. 🤷
    • Maybe once you have left and have nothing to lose, name and shame him on appropriate local forums? Assuming he doesn't have loads of mates who would then make life "difficult" for you,of course ......
