Group Classes

  • Each lesson is 55 minutes long, including a short break.
  • Guaranteed Maximum Class Size:
  • Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore, and Taipei || 6 students per class
  • Xi’an, Chengdu, Tokyo, Seoul || 8 students per class
  • Beihai, Ho Chi Minh City || 10 students per class
  • LTL pays your teacher his/her full-time salary whether you come to class or not. Group classes will therefore continue and be charged according to the scheduled teaching plan, independently of attendance.
  • If you miss a class, LTL can arrange a special 1-on-1 Make Up Class at the lowest price of the Individual 1-on-1 program of the same school.
  • All classes must be paid in full before the start of each course.
  • No refund can be given for classes not attended by the student, either voluntarily or involuntarily.
  • Class schedules follow the LTL Holiday Schedule as published on the LTL Website.

Accommodation

  • Students must comply with the housing regulations of their accommodation. If a student repeatedly violates housing regulations, he/she may have to leave the accommodation. In those cases, no refund can be provided.
  • If a student wants to change or cancel accommodation after starting their program, this is only possible in case a valid reason is provided that makes continuing the course impossible. Suppose this is the case and the student is highly cooperative in organizing this with the school. In that case, four weeks’ notice and a six-week cancellation fee are applicable and discounts need to be adjusted according to actual booking duration.
