Private lesson centre in London 

• Our Kensington school has a suite of 8 rooms for private lessons. This can be on a 1 to 1, 1 to 2 or 1 to 3 basis.
• Our unique pricing system is designed for friends, family or colleagues with a similar English level to share the cost of private lessons ? if 2 students each one pays half the lesson cost and if 3 each one pays a third, as little as ?20/lesson!

Private lessons are for all ages - our teachers are experienced with children, young adults and professionals. Students can focus on specific needs such as language for business or professional situations and preparation for presentations, conferences and business meetings. They can also focus on examinations such as IELTS, Cambridge FCE, CAE, CPE, TOEIC, TOLES, GMAT and Linguaskill.

We have teachers experienced in English for special subjects - HR, Law, Management,Medicine, Nursing, the Arts, Music, Architecture, Intercultural Awareness, Journalism and others.

London and Dublin on a budget

A study holiday package in London or Dublin needn¡¯t be that expensive.

Accommodation is of course a big part. One way to keep costs down is to choose Private Home accommodation. Next choose an afternoon course for lower tuition prices. 

Private Home accommodation  differs from homestay in that it is self-catering, with use of kitchen,and students may not see as much of their hosts as in a traditional homestay. Afternoon courses are the same quality as morning courses but with a less popular timetable and are offered at a big discount.

Here are some examples of gross package prices including registration, 20 lessons/week in the afternoon and private home accommodation

• English course for children aged 6-16, accompanied by a parent
• Available for 1-6 weeks, from December 23, 2019 ? January 27, 2020
• Optional study for parents  
• Parents and children both study at 77 Gloucester Road, Kensington, central London
• Accommodation can be arranged in homestays, studios and apartments

London:

• 4 weeks - ?1559
• 8 weeks - ?2899

Dublin:

• 4 weeks - ?1579
• 8 weeks - ?2915

And in both cities there are plenty of engaging and free experiences to enjoy

Here are suggestions from Visit London: https://www.visitlondon.com/things-to-do/budget-london/101-free-things-to-do-in-london

And for Dublin, suggestions from Lonely Planet: https://www.lonelyplanet.com/articles/top-20-free-things-to-do-in-dublin

And of course the Frances King activity programme has mostly free events.
