Four or more - Special offer
Families hold a special place in Austria – and we love that! When you sign up as a group of four or more, you’ll get a 25% discount for everyone. No questions asked!
Individual sessions
We also offer private one-to-one lessons for learners who prefer individual attention and a flexible schedule.
If you would like to book private classes, simply send us an email or fill in the contact form and let us know which days and times you prefer to learn. Prices start at € 60,00 per session, and one session lasts 45 minutes.
For best learning progress, we recommend 2-3 sessions in a row twice per week, but individual adjustments are, of course, possible and will be discussed during a personal consultation. We will then match you with the teacher who best suits your needs.
