Want to learn French or English on Skype? Visit learnoutlive to find out more! One-to-one sessions are only €15 for a whole 45 minutes!

These classes will be similar to the ones I teach on eduFire, the only difference is that it is solely one-to-one and on Skype, as opposed to the eduFire platform. My Skype contact is mark.o.hagan82. Feel free to drop me a line! :-)

Superpass Dilemma

Not long ago, eduFire announced that it would be ditching the superpass. While I can only agree that this is a major bummer for students and teachers alike... it was no doubt for a good cause.

There seem to be a number of reasons behind this decision... while subscription packages are cheap and practical, it seems as though there were some faults with the superpass system and certain teachers appear to have abused it.

That said, the show must go on. EduFire is a great site for learning. Unlike many of its rivals, it facilitates interaction between students and teachers, the staff are great and über helpful, and the platform is excellent for online teaching and learning. These are major pluses, and since eduFire is so awesome, I would like to show my appreciation by sticking around and soldiering on.

Obviously the superpass was hugely beneficial as it allowed students to attend unlimited classes for only $29 a month. This is quite a difficult bargain to match. However, until eduFire develop a new subscription package, I will be lowering the fees for all of my classes. So....... from January onwards I am only charging $5 per person.
