Lesson times in your US time zone
Lessons are taught from Belfast, which is usually 5 hours ahead of New York and 8 hours ahead of Los Angeles. That means a UK afternoon or evening lesson lands in your morning or lunch break.
| Belfast (UK) | Eastern (New York, Boston, Miami) | Central (Chicago, Dallas) | Mountain (Denver) | Pacific (Los Angeles, Seattle) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:00 pm | 9:00 am | 8:00 am | 7:00 am | 6:00 am |

Example times only. The gap shifts by an hour for a few weeks each spring and fall, when the US and UK change their clocks on different dates. Mention your time zone when you book and Stefania will suggest times that work.
