ricm   10 #1 Posted May 26, 2014 Hi,  Does anyone know of a venue where I can give an adult learner a couple of hours tuition a week? Somewhere fairly quiet? Alternatively anyone know where I can hire a desk for an hour or two a week?  I have an adult learner who wants to return to studying and needs a neutral, quiet space away from distractions at home. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

ricm   10 #4 Posted May 26, 2014 What locality? Look at Church Halls. Quite a wide area: Hillsborough and on into town or from town up towards Shirecliffe or from town up towards Crookes.  ---------- Post added 26-05-2014 at 09:28 ----------  You could probably use your local library. I often see what appears to be a tutor and student at the library working their way through folders of course work  I had wondered about that - not sure if they would object or not but I can always phone up and ask. The fact that you have seen this at the library is encouraging. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
medusa   16 #5 Posted May 26, 2014 Have you tried asking the university library whether you would be allowed to book one of their teaching rooms for a regular slot once a week? That would remove the possibility that you talking would be taken as a distraction for other people, and they have lots of rooms which are used by all sorts of classes. This may be more of a possibility if you are looking for an evening slot, since they are usually booked through the week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I think Tuesday I have lots of potential venues to call. Thanks everyone for your suggestions. Ric Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
