Format of the lessons
At the moment St. Nicholas College is only able to provide one-to-one private lessons online. These tutorials are much more effective than the lessons in groups. It is enough as many as 3-5 online lessons per week to achieve the same speed of learning as achieved by students learning in groups 10-15 hours per week. Private lessons also help a teacher to concentrate on the problems of one particular student, which help to speed up the progress.
A teacher can see and hear his student thanks to video conference features of the Skype software. A student can also see and hear the teacher.

Trial session
Every student is entitled to take a free 15 minutes trial session online. This small lesson will help to check the internet connection as well as allow testing of a student. THE TRIAL LESSON IS FREE, but St. Nicholas College will have to reserve £20 on the student's debit/credit card in order to book the time for the session. The £20 will be taken by the school if a student misses his lesson or does not arrive in time. In case the student desires to enrol and book more online lessons, £20 will be charged in addition to the course fee as the standard registration fee. If the Internet connection appears to be slow or a student does not like the lesson, £20 will not be taken from the student's card.
