For most of these classes, to maximise class time and speed up your learning, we will use the blended learning approach of OnTrack online - where you will receive a study package prior to each lesson to work on in your own time, and so then in the classes you will know what we are going to be doing, are able to prepare and we will spend the class doing activities and plenty of speaking!
€25 per month (including all materials)
