  Hi Mukesh,
  
  Classes are run on an ‘as need’ basis. Therefore, classes are private and dedicated to your personal needs.
  First of all I will assess you and present you with the various options most suitable to your needs.
  
  Once you’re comfortable, we can commence with the course and aim for our target and beyond.
  
  I am more than willing to help and am looking forward to your reply.
