FAQs…

Online Classes

    • Please leave the room so the child can take the class on their own. They perform better and as a child protection issue, we don’t want other children being observed during lessons.

    • Turn ‘self-view’ off so the child doesn’t see themselves (three dots to the right of the image, scroll down to ‘hide self-view).

    • Set to ‘gallery view’

    • Make sure their name is changed to their name or they might not be allowed into the lesson.

    • You will be sent links that cover the whole term. Please either download Zoom or click on the hyperlink.

  • Class numbers remain small for individual attention, progression and exam preparation. Classes decrease in numbers as pupils progress into higher age groups. We never normally have lessons with more than 10 pupils. Older groups tend to have between 4 and 6 children.

  • Little Voices classes are 45 minutes. All other sessions are 55 minutes long.

  • We do run public speaking masterclasses and interview skills/drama school audition classes so get in touch or take a look at our ‘classes’ page.

In-person classes

    • Please contact us in advance if your child is going to walk home on their own or be picked up by someone else.

    • In-person classes in Hertfordshire are taught by Lauren Cesena. You can find out more about her on our ‘about us’ page.

    • Classes in Hove are taught by our founder Jude Bolton.

Subscriptions

    • Half a term’s notice is needed to end payments. Payments work out at about 4 months of payments for each term.

    • Payments are evenly split throughout each year to cover 34 weeks of classes (12 in Autumn, 11 in Spring and Summer)

    • This means that you pay less during the term time but you still pay during holiday months.

    • If you join and set up your subscription part way through a month no money will be taken until the 1st of the following month. Therefore, a ‘covering payment’ will be added to pay for classes attended before the initial payment.

LAMDA Exams
