Au Pair English classes advice

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

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By James3506 · Posted

      Just a review for Andy. I have now used him for various jobs for 5 years or so. An absolute and complete star. Always goes above and beyond, never cuts a corner, and always prices incredibly fairly. If you need a handyman...he is your man. Could not recommend more highly.

      Working form a cafe on Bellenden?

      Don’t know about cafes but the Victoria and Montpelier pubs always have always encouraged people working during the day.

      Where have the swifts gone ?

      By sidebirdz · Posted

      If you care about the decline in the swift population please support the lovely Hannah Bourne-Taylor in her campaign to mandate 'swift bricks' in all new properties   From her website: What are swift bricks? Zero maintenance and sustainable, swift bricks are bricks that sit flush to the wall that provide a cavity nesting habitat for swifts and other cavity nesting birds. Surveys show species include House martins, starlings, House sparrows, nuthatch, blue tit, coal tit and wren. Why swift bricks are urgently and uniquely essential Without swift bricks there is no guaranteed nesting habitat for birds reliant on building cavities anywhere in the UK – and there never will be. We are inadvertently destroying their oldcavity nesting sites through renovation, demolition and insulation, while climate mitigation measures mean modern buildings will never provide natural homes for birds. https://hannahbournetaylor.com/ Don't be such a pompous bore. She is doing something to improve the world around us, what does it matter what social class she is from? The despicable Michael Gove offered support then did nothing. The current government, despite supposed concern for the environment, also failed to support the campaign. She took the trouble to write back to me when I asked a question. But carry on poking fun at honourable people while our surroundings decay.
