Terms & Conditions

Please read all the terms and conditions below.


POINTS 1 TO 13 APPLY TO ALL STUDENTS (BOTH 1-TO-1 TUITION AND GROUP TUITION)


1.   Advanced payment is required on a monthly basis for all tuition.   I will only teach lessons paid in advance.


2.   I can only timetable weekly lessons.  I cannot accommodate fortnightly lessons.


3.   All notes provided are viewable online only.  They cannot be downloaded or printed.


4.   Lessons will start at the scheduled time.  If you do not login within the first 20 minutes of the scheduled start time and do not contact me to explain why you have not logged in, I will consider the lesson to be cancelled. The payment for this missed lesson will still be required and the lesson cannot be rescheduled.


5.   If you are having problems logging in then you must contact me immediately by phone call, Skype messaging, Gmail, text / WhatsApp or via my website.   


6.  I do expect students to attend their lessons every week.  Whilst I understand that occasionally there will be a good reason for students to cancel a lesson, frequent absence will result in their slot being allocated to another student.  I do not expect students to cancel more than one lesson per term.


7.   I reserve the right to charge in full for any lessons cancelled by the student (or the student’s parent or guardian) with less than 24 hours notice.


8.   My timings are based on BST from April-October and GMT from November -March.  The student is responsible for changing their timetable during the changeover from BST to GMT and from GMT to BST.


9.   I can sometimes carry out work outside of the lesson (e.g. marking past papers).  This will be charged on a pro rata basis.


10.   I do not allow students to take screenshots of my PowerPoints or record the online lessons.   


11.   When a student finishes their tuition, access to any resources will stop with immediate effect.


12.   All my online tuition is carried out with the audio and video switched on.  I must be able to hear the student and be able to see the student's face at all times. 


13.  Whilst I will always endeavour to do my best for every student, I cannot, and do not, guarantee a specific grade will be achieved by a student in any examination.   


14.   I reserve the right to make changes to my terms and conditions at any time. 




POINTS 15 TO 18 APPLY TO STUDENTS WHO ARE TAKING GROUP TUITION


15. If a student has a preference for group tuition but does not have a partner(s) to form a group, I am happy to start lessons with that student at the charge of a 1-to-1 tuition (as advertised in the Fees table on the HOME page of my website) in order to guarantee them a place in the timetable.  This 1-to-1 tuition fee would continue until the student or myself find other student(s) to join the group.  Although I would do my best to find suitable students to make up a group, I cannot guarantee that this would be possible.


16.   Group tuition - each student must pay monthly in advance of the tuition.  Should any student(s) in the group not be able to attend a particular lesson, the payment from that lesson will still be taken (Unfortunately, cancellations for any reason are not an option for students signed up for group tuition - see point 17 below)


17.  If a student in a group tuition is unable to attend a lesson, I will record the lesson and give the absent student access to the recorded lesson so that they do not miss out on the material covered.  Therefore, parents/guardians of students attending group tuition must give permission for the group lesson to be recorded which will contain their son/daughters voice (but not video).  By completing these terms and conditions, you will be giving permission for group tuition to be recorded, should it be necessary.


18.  If the number of students in a group tuition permanently drops to just one remaining student, the fee for future lessons will change to that of a 1-to-1 tuition as advertised in the Fees table on the HOME page of my website.
