Val thorens - ski instructor / class recommendations

Can anyone recommend a ski instructor in VT please? And / or a ski school.....

I'd like a 4 hour private lesson for 3 young girls every morning (they have each skied for about 2 weeks) and in the afternoon I'd like a lesson for me and my friend......

If that is not possible I'd like a ski school that does small classes for my 7yo daughter and her 2 friends but also for our 11yo son who can get down most runs with an instructor, albeit with no style but he will get lost in a big group......

All group classes I see online seem to have at least 8 kids in a class.

We used Snow Limits in La Tania in 2022. Their morning sessions were 4 hours which was great for kids' skills development but also for parents as that gave us a lot of time to hit the slopes!! Yes the classes were £££ but so worth it.

My son was in a class of 6 with Matt the instructor (in his 30s, ex army, brilliant with his troop of boys, he was awesome!) and there were only 3 kids in my daughter's class with Chris which meant he could do 2 hot chocolate stops and keep their interest in hitting the mountain. Sadly Snow Limits is no longer in operation as the owners lives went in a different direction but I'd love to find something similar.

So..... small group ski lessons (6 kids would be perfect) of 3-4 hours with English speaking instructors. Does this exist in VT?!

Or is there a private instructor you would recommend? Or a ski school with a different approach but which you rave about?

Many thanks.
