Group lessons. Depending on how deep your pockets are you can enquire about a smaller group. Either all day lessons or half day, then do your own thing, usually with other members of the group.
If you let us know where you're going there will be someone who can offer more specific advice on schools or instructors.

Millie10, wot Dr John said - and I agree that chances are that you'll meet up with someone in your lessons who'll be very happy to ski with you when you're not having your classes. Could you'll also meet up with a fellow beginner in your accommodation, too. Skiers are a friendly bunch - I am sure you'll have fun. Good luck, and welcome to snowheads.

Millie10, any sort of group learn to ski week offered is usally a good bet , as you will be with six or so people in the same boat, therefore having loads in common, and any good ski school will move you up or down according to progress , but try and give youself a day at least at the end of your holiday to ski with new freinds etc , but without instructor, to judge your "real" progress.

Millie10, I'd suggest you contact BASS http://www.britishskischool.com/morzine/ Tell them about the skiing you've been doing already - you won't need to go in a completely beginner course, which would be very boring for you. You'll find skiing on snow much nicer - but a completely new place, which will seem pretty daunting at first, does make life difficult unless you're in lessons.
BASS are more expensive than schools such as the ESF (French school) but they have smaller groups and the tuition will probably be a bit more focussed - I had lessons with them some time ago, in Les Gets, as did various other people in our group, at different levels. We were all very happy - investment in top quality lessons is really worth it.
It's your friend who's going to have a boring holiday. 
Please come back and tell us how it went. When are you off?

only way to be.... Good time to go, should be really quiet, though possibly a little chilly. Still, better than New Year which is stupid expensive, stupid quiet, very short days and not so likely to have good snow as a few weeks later.

Remember if you are booking half day lessons make them early morning ones as you will then be able to lunch with and get to know your new friends over a drink or two. You can then hit the slopes together and have the best time of your life.
