SOME USEFUL INFORMATION FOR STAFF:
Much has changed since Covid and we want to ensure that students and staff can feel safe at ELH. English Language House will always follow the government guidelines to maximise the safety of everyone who comes to our lessons.
HOW WE TEACH FACE2FACE LESSONS
We restarted our Face2Face lessons in May 2021 add will continue these for students who request this mode of study. However if there is another rise in Covid or another infection occurs which leads to lockdown, or if students and/or staff do not feel safe to attend Face2Face lessons, we reserve the right to move to Online and/or hybrid lessons if necessary.
Face2Face lessons take place in one of our two classrooms at ELH in Central Milton Keynes. Classrooms have access to wifi and are equipped with a whiteboard and a flat screen TV which teachers can use to teach their lessons. There is space for a maximum of 12 students in each classroom although classes may run with 6 students or less.

HOW WE TEACH ONLINE LESSONS
We use Zoom to run live online lessons. These lessons may be One2One, or Small Group lessons and may be for adult students or Under18s. We can also use Skype and Microsoft teams if students are unable to access Zoom.
ELH EMAILS & HOW WE COMMUNICATE
Staff who join ELH will get:
Teachers and students must only communicate with each other using their ELH emails; they must never use their personal emails. Only the Elh Office can use a student's personal email to communicate with him/her and deal with lesson schedules, payments, bookings etc
HOW WE COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER
For instant messaging staff should use the WhatsApp Group Account "Elh all staff" to communicate with each other. Do not share this WhatsApp Group with anyone outside ELH and do not share the WhatApp Group contact details with students.
Only staff who have an ELH mobile phone number (ie our DOA, Mihaela, who has the "Elh Office Mob", our Director ELH, Tatiana, who has the emergency ELH mobile "ElhMob2" and our DOA/Examinations Officer, Clare who has the "ElhMob3"), can contact students via mobile or WhatsApp.
Use the WhatsApp "Elh all staff" group account to communicate with all staff and receive an immediate response.

Mihaela or Tatiana at the ELH office, will pick up and respond to students' emails when these are sent to
[email protected] and there will be no delay in responding and dealing with an enquiry.
