Terms & Conditions for Private Tuition

Terms & Conditions for Private Tuition

All students and parents signing up for private tuition are expected to adhere to my Terms & Conditions as below.

PAYMENT
Either by cash at the time of each weekly session. Or for online students by BACS, prior to each lesson.

ABSENCES
Please keep absences to a minimum.  I have a 48 hour absence policy.  If it’s not possible for your child to attend their lesson, please give 48 hours notice.  This may give me time to offer your child’s slot to another student on my waiting list.  If you must cancel within 48 hours then a full lesson cancellation fee will be payable.
Exceptions –  are accepted only if I have another slot become available later in the week and your child is able to fill it, or in the case of severe illness or emergencies.

PUNCTUALITY
The session will start, and finish, on time.  If your child is late, the session will still end at the usual time.  Occasionally I am late, in this situation I will finish an hour from my start time.

HOMEWORK
If it’s appropriate I set homework for students to do to in between lessons, for online students this will be sent through via email after the lesson.  I appreciate that there are other things in life and schoolwork takes priority but the homework is part of the learning process.
I do not formally mark homework, I review it at the beginning of our next lesson, taking spot checks on questions and seeing where there might have been a problem.  If you would like homework formally marked I will have to charge an additional fee.

SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
As a general rule I do not tutor regular weekly students in school holidays.  However with students in the run up to exams I will be available for extra lessons.

WHEN YOU SIGN UP FOR A COURSE
You will be sent a copy of the T&Cs to sign, which should be returned to me prior to commencing the course.
