But I haven't been able to find the specific price for such an option on your website. I will not need support in finding accommodation, only the classes (and leyter of admission to apply for the X2 visa). Could you please let me know if you offer online classes as well and the price for 1:1 classes for a) 2h per week, b) 4h per week so I can compare? Thank you very much, Georgina"
