Charges and other FAQ

During lockdown I switched from teaching in students' homes to teaching online via Skype. I am keeping the situation, regarding returning to face to face tuition, under review but currently all of my lessons are online via Skype.

Lessons are provided on a weekly basis, throughout the school term, including training days. Lessons are available on weekdays from lunchtime through till around 9pm. I don't normally teach at weekends. Tuition during school holidays may be possible by mutual agreement.

I ask all parents and students to make the arranged lesson time a priority and try to avoid cancellations whenever possible. If, however, a cancellation is unavoidable, please give as much notice as possible. I also ask that parents, rather than students, contact me to discuss cancellations.

The following fees apply to all cancellations at short notice:

• Less than 48 hours notice, half the normal lesson fee will be payable.
• Less than 24 hours notice, the full lesson fee will be payable.

If, however, the cancellation is due to illness, the cancellation fee will be waived, provided:

• The illness is serious enough to warrant time off school.
• Every effort has been made to give notification as early as possible.
