Terms & Conditions 2025 - 2026
Pricing and Payments
​
​
All lessons are conducted online via Google Meet in small groups.
Trial Session:
​
A one-off trial session is available for new students, priced at £25. Payment must be received at least 48 hours prior to the session.
Monthly Tuition:
​
Ongoing tuition is provided on a monthly subscription basis at a flat rate of £75 per month. This fee secures your child’s place in their weekly term-time session and remains the same regardless of whether a month has 3, 4, or 5 lessons.
Payment Method & Schedule:
​
All monthly payments are collected automatically in advance via GoCardless Direct Debit. Payment is taken on or around the
1st of each month. For your records, an informational invoice will be emailed to you around the 25th of the preceding month.
Failed Payments:
​
Should a Direct Debit payment fail, an administration fee of £20 may be applied to your account. The student will not be permitted to attend further sessions until the outstanding balance is settled
Holidays & Cancellations
​
​
Holidays:
​
Tuition sessions run during term time only. A full list of term dates is provided separately. Sessions still run on bank holidays unless they fall within a scheduled holiday period. As the monthly fee secures your child’s place, payment is still required if you cannot make a session due to other commitments or different holiday dates.
Refunds:
​
Refunds cannot be given where a tutee misses a session. If a student misses a group session, a recording and any materials from that session will be provided.
Tutor Cancellations:
​
In the unlikely event I should have to cancel a lesson (e.g., due to illness), I will give as much notice as possible and offer an alternative session or a refund.
Your Cancellation Policy:
​
You may cancel your child’s tuition at any time. As a courtesy, 2 weeks’ notice is requested.
​​
Student Progress
​
I am committed to promoting academic progress, confidence, and a positive, resilient mindset in all my students. Lessons will be tailored to individual learning needs. However, as with any educator, I cannot guarantee grades as there are too many variables, such as student illness, stress, and exam nerves.
