Full payment is to be received at least 2 working days before the first class/lesson of the term. We reserve the right to cancel lessons if payment has not been made in due time.

Attendance Issues

24 hours notice is required for any change unless there is an unexpected illness or event in which case notification must be received before 11.00am on the day of tutoring. Failure to provide the required notice will result in the full fee being charged.

A tutor will wait for 10 minutes from the start time of a tutoring session. If a student does not arrive by that time the session will be considered cancelled with no advice and the student will be charged for the session.

Lateness reduces the time available for tuition. It is a student’s responsibility to be on time. No refund is available in case of lateness.
