Vlad is ready to travel anywhere within Greater London to give lessons (and anywhere in the world for performance opportunities, provided travel expenses are covered for performances outside of Greater London), or is equally willing to receive students at his own home. However, a small fee may be added on to the lesson cost to cover travel expenses if it is he that has to travel to the student's house and not the other way around. Nevertheless, Vlad is prepared to waive his travel expenses fee in certain cases such as an exceptional student facing financial hardship.
