Q&A - Questions about English courses and schools in Melbourne
I am looking for English classes and activities for 3 little girls aged 6, 8 and 10 during the month of January, 4 weeks. The idea is for them to learn English but also to have activities with other children. I don't need accommodation as I have already rented a flat in Melbourne.
“At present (2024) , for these ages, we do not have any programmes available in Melbourne during January. However, a viable option would be to consider private or semi-private tuition in a teacher's residence. This would allow the girls to receive personalised tuition tailored to their level of English.
It is important to mention that, by opting for this alternative, the girls will not have the opportunity to interact with other children from different countries, as the classes would take place in a more intimate and exclusive environment. If you are interested in this option and would like more information, please do not hesitate to contact us.”
