Private Tutoring in Madrid: Inquiry and English Grammar Notes

Inquiry Regarding Private Lessons in Madrid

Dear Mr. Brown,

I am writing in response to an advertisement I saw for private classes. I am interested in enrolling and would appreciate it if you could send me more information about the subjects you teach.

First, the advertisement mentions that the private classes are held in Madrid. I was also wondering if students can choose the subjects and the preferred schedule. I will be attending high school until June and will have many exams. Finally, I would like to know if it is possible to pay in installments.

Thank you very much for your help. I look forward to your response.
