I come to your office or home. The area covered is central and south Rome.
If it is impossible for me to come to you, you can come to my office in San Giovanni or you can try my experimental web-cam lessons. Note that these additional possibilities are normally only available until 3pm, and that no discounts are given if you come to me.
- there is absolute flexibility in fixing the starting date of a course: where necessary this can be at very short notice
- the working year is from the beginning of the second week of September to the end of the second week of July: there are discounts for courses which last 40 weeks
During the working year the following holidays
are observed:
- Christmas – 2 weeks: 23 December – 7 January, inclusive
- Bank holidays: 1 Nov; 8 Dec; Easter Monday; 25 Apr; 1 May; 29 June (optional)
Personal holidays can be included in the planning of a course, and flexible courses allow for holidays as desired. Note that students on 40 week courses must calculate personal holidays accurately so as not to void or waste their discount.
- 2 hours
- 1½ hours: recommended
- 1 hour: only appropriate to certain types of lesson, not available for early morning and lunch-time slots
time
my working day is from 8am to 6pm, there are 5 (approximate) slots for lessons:
- early morning: 8.00—10.30
- late morning: 10.30—12.30
- lunch-time: 12.30—14.30
- early afternoon: 14.30—16.30
- late afternoon: 16.30—18.00
note that early morning and lunch-time slots are in great demand
- 3 or more: intensive
- 2: recommended and normal
- 1: only suitable for limited objectives
note that the usual choice of 2 lessons a week works best when the lessons
are at a distance of 3 days, i.e. Monday and Thursday, or Tuesday and Friday
on the basis of duration, time and frequency, weekly appointments are fixed for the duration of the course. When necessary these can be moved or cancelled according to the Option you have chosen.
Unless otherwise agreed this is in advance
- monthly instalments
- total cost of course divided by number of months less one
- first month more expensive
- subsequent months in round figures
- trimester
- payments at start of course, at New-Year and at Easter
- separate tax-years
- payments at start of course and at New-Year
- monthly calculation

- payment is made every ten lessons
if you need either a different modality of payment or a different method of calculation of fees for your course, then you can make a request.
Note that some requests could mean extra charges; if so these will be transparent and explained.
