Teams with mixed levels
A beginner and an advanced speaker can draw on the same hours. Every lesson is planned for the person in it.
Shared Hour Bank · Lima, Peru & online
One block of hours. Any employee can use it.
For teams that need flexibility: different levels, changing schedules, business travel. You buy the hours once, and each employee books one-to-one lessons when they need them.
How it works
Bought once, used by whoever needs it.
The company holds the hours; employees use them for private lessons around their own work. HR gets a report every month.
01
Choose a pack
21, 42 or 81 hours, paid in advance. You receive an official Peruvian electronic receipt (recibo por honorarios electrónico).
02
Employees book directly
Each person arranges their lessons with Elizabeth on WhatsApp, at times that suit them. Nothing for HR to coordinate.
03
One-to-one lessons of 1 or 1.5 hours
Online, at your office or at the employee's home in most of Lima, at the same rate. Each lesson is planned for the person taking it, whatever their level.
04
Hours are deducted as they're used
Mix 1-hour and 1.5-hour lessons freely. Any remaining half hour can be used as a shorter final lesson.
05
A monthly report per employee
Hours used, progress, strengths and points to reinforce, so HR can see where the hours are going.
Who it suits
When a fixed programme doesn't fit.
If an employee has one clear goal and twelve weeks, the Quarterly Programme is the better choice. The hour bank is for everything else.
Busy or travelling staff
No fixed weekly commitment: lessons happen when work allows, any time within six months.
After a Quarterly Programme
A common next step once the 12 weeks are over, to keep progress going at a lighter pace.
After Landing in Lima
Once the first month in Lima is done, the hour bank keeps new arrivals practising.

Hour bank FAQ
Questions HR teams ask.
If yours isn't here, send it on WhatsApp.
How do employees book lessons?
Directly with Elizabeth on WhatsApp, or through the contact page. They agree days and times that fit their work.
How many employees can share the hours?
There is no minimum or maximum: the hours belong to the company and any employee can use them. Lessons are always one-to-one; the hour bank is not used for group classes.
Which pack should we choose?
As a guide, with one-hour lessons: 21 hours is about one employee with one lesson a week for five months; 42 hours, one employee with two lessons a week, or two employees with one; 81 hours, three employees with one lesson a week for six months.
Can people with different levels use the same hours?
Yes. The hours belong to the company, and each lesson is planned for the employee taking it.
Do hours expire?
Hour bank hours are valid for 6 months from purchase.
What if we mix 1-hour and 1.5-hour lessons?
No problem. Hours are deducted as they are used, and any remaining half hour can be used as a shorter final lesson.
What happens if an employee cancels?
Lessons cancelled at least 24 hours in advance are rescheduled. Later cancellations count as a used lesson.
What's in the monthly report?
For each employee: hours used, progress, strengths and points to reinforce.
How is payment handled?
Payment is made in advance and you receive an official Peruvian electronic receipt (recibo por honorarios electrónico).
