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

      The Mansion Tax

      By malumbu · Posted

      What worries me is all the talk of these foreign architectural styles.  Art Deco (French) and Art  Noveau (Belgium - can you even name ten famous poeple from Belgium),   Thank heavens for good old British Arts and Crafts, harking back to previous times.   What do you think those who are asset poor and cash poor may think?  Don't you feel there is a case for evening things out? Get real.  There are numerous anti-Labour threads and a few of you who clearly hate everything Labour, no doubt going back decades.  Not everyone of course who have posted on this weird thread has such strong views.   For balance there are a lesser number of threads on other political parties and a former prime minister, but they attract far less traffic, and one person seems to go out of their way to defend Farage

      Is there a viable alternative to Sadiq?

      There is a possibility that poor air quality leads to adult onset asthma.  The Lancet did not confirm this and stated that more work was required.  10,000s of deaths are linked to poor air quality.  Surely it is good that our Mayor wants to further improve air quality.  That is the important aim, rather than pick holes in what he said.

      There's an indicative map here of whi falls foul. Sevreal dozen in SE 22ml. I dont think this is up to date though. And by the time the government have done their "independent" valuations I think we can expect a lot more to fall into this tax trap.   https://taxpolicy.org.uk/2025/11/27/mansion-tax-map-where-the-money-comes-from/
