Adult Group Coaching Sessions
We’re continuing the popular group sessions from last year with four sessions planned for the coming weeks. The details are below. There will be a max of 4 pupils per session.
The price will be on a sliding scale. If there are 4 attendees, the price will be £20 each. If there are 3, the price will be £25 each and if there are just two, the price will be £30 each. I will keep anyone who signs up to date with the numbers and if they decide the price isn’t what they want to pay then I understand and will remove them from the session without charge. Hope that sounds fair.
Please let me know if you’d like to sign up. It’s on a first come, first served basis.
