If the currently listed section times do not suit you, please contact me to arrange a more suitable time, pending availability. 

The content being taught each week will be learner-driven.


Suggested Format:
The first 10 minutes will be when instructions are given and we go through a guided practice.
The next 10 minutes will be when the learner completes an independent practice, and the teacher (Pamela) will be able to offer further explanation, examples, clarification and support as required to ensure that the learner understands how to complete their task.
The final 10 minutes will be reviewing their work and giving live feedback so that they know what they have to work on and practice over the following week before the next class.


Please send me a message with a course schedule that would suit you if you don't see a class time available that is suitable to your schedule listed here, and we will work out a mutually-suitable timetable for your course.

Learners are welcome to share their work/homework from other classes that they may be taking, either at a regular school or in another online program if they require help with it so that Pamela can explain it to them in another way that helps them to understand what is required to complete said task.

At your request, homework will be supplied to complete in-between our classes, to either be uploaded as a message to Pamela or shared at the next class. You may write directly into the classroom, a message, or attach files. Feedback can be given in-between classes or live in class as schedules permit.

If you would like to take more than one class per week, then this is an option. For example, you may wish to take 2 classes per week for 20 weeks, and this would be the same price. You are welcome to change this throughout the year - with at least 24 hours prior notice - for such circumstances as studying for a test, which may require more lessons one week and then you would those classes off the end of the course. Likewise, if you are planning a holiday, moving house, or are ill, you can postpone your class - with at least 24 hours prior notice - and I will add that day/those days to the end of our course so that you do not miss out on the time that you have paid for. I understand that this is a long commitment - as it also is for myself - therefore I am flexible and able to cater to your specific requirements as the course goes on.
