Booking and rates
You can book lessons through teaching platforms or directly.
If you book lessons directly with me, the lessons can take place on Google Meet, Zoom or Jitsi.
My rate for individual lessons with private clients is EUR 50 for one-hour lessons and EUR 25 for half-hour lessons.
I offer a discount of 5% when you buy a bundle of 10 hours, or 10% when you buy 20 hours, which you can spend on one-hour and half-hour lessons at a pace that suits you.
You can book a free half-hour introductory lesson before you decide to buy a bundle.
The booking of lessons happens through a calendar link that you receive upon payment, where you can book time slots anywhere where I am available. My general availability is 12AM-8PM CET all days except Wednesdays and Saturdays.
If you are part of a small group of people with the same learning objectives and the same level, I can also offer group lessons to the whole group. The price per student will be lower in this case, you can contact me for the details.
Here you can read the whole terms and conditions.
If you have any questions, you can contact me at jacobo@rouces.com. You can tell me about your current level and goals.
We can also arrange individual lessons through some third-party platforms. Currently: Preply (Jacobo R.), only for Spanish lessons.
There are some aspects of these platforms you should be aware of before you decide whether to buy services directly from me or through them.
The platforms include their own payment and videoconference systems, and you will have to create an account with them. They charge a fee on my side that's around 15-20%, so on these platforms, I have to charge higher rates than if you book directly with me. Some platforms also add a fee on the client side, but it's often disclosed just before the payment. They set their own conditions in general.
I am not allowed to move students from one platform to another, or to my website. So if you start booking lessons with me on one platform, we will have to stick to it in the long run. If we start here, however, there's no binding whatsoever.
The platforms currently don't allow group lessons.
Even if you decide to book lessons directly, you are welcome to read my reviews and stats on these platforms.
