How a class works
Usually about 30 minutes of explanation and about 30 minutes of practice — examples, speaking and live application. Where it makes sense, there is homework and an oral check in the next class.
Schedule
- Two classes a week
- One on a weekday and one at the weekend. In the application you give preferred and backup days and times.
- A break after week 4
- One week off: feedback, the schedule for the second half and practical matters.
- Bulgarian time
- All times are Bulgarian time, with summer and winter time.
- Rescheduling
- With at least 48 hours’ notice.
Private or group
Private
Just you and the teacher; the pace is yours.
Group
From 2 to 8 people, formed from compatible applications. If a group does not come together, we will write to you about the options — with no automatic move to private lessons.
You can also come with your own group — friends or family, 2 to 8 people in all, at the group price per person.
