Thank you so much for the information! I will definitely contact them as soon as possible, and thank you for allowing me to use your name as a reference. I really appreciate it! I'll also be looking into offering private classes for the smaller English schools you talked about. Would you happen to know how I would find those schools - do many of them have websites? (i'll do my own search of course but if you happen to know of anything that would be amazing!)
Once again thank you SO much for your time and help. I hope you are having a wonderful weekend!
