Terms and Conditions
Please read these terms carefully before booking. By confirming a place, you are agreeing to the following conditions.
1. Fees and Payment
Individual tuition is charged at £55 per hour. Small-group sessions are charged at £35 per student per hour. A-Level tuition and one-off services are charged at the rates set out on the Additional Services page.
Weekly tuition is booked on a fixed half-term basis, following local school term dates. Once a place is confirmed, that weekly slot is reserved for your child for the full half term.
Fees for each half term are invoiced in advance and are payable by the date stated on the invoice, before the new half term begins.
Once a half term has started, the full half-term fee remains payable, as the slot has been reserved exclusively for your child.
2. Term Dates
Regular weekly tuition follows local school term dates and takes place during term time only.
During school holidays, additional revision sessions may be offered for individual students or small groups. These are booked and charged separately, subject to availability.
3. Cancellations by Families
At least 24 hours' notice is required if your child is unable to attend a session.
Sessions missed without sufficient notice are charged in full and cannot usually be rearranged.
Where sufficient notice is given, and where my availability allows, I will try to offer an alternative session within the same half term. This cannot be guaranteed.
4. Tutor Cancellations
If I need to cancel a session due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, I will offer either an alternative session within the same half term or a refund for the missed lesson. I will give as much notice as possible in these circumstances.
5. Ending Tuition
If you wish to end tuition, please give notice before the start of the next half term.
Once a half term has begun, the full half-term fee remains payable, as the weekly slot has been reserved for your child.
6. Small-Group Sessions
Small-group sessions require a minimum of three students to run. If numbers fall below this minimum, I will contact all families promptly to discuss the available options, which may include a revised fee, a shorter session or a transfer to individual tuition.

7. Student Conduct
Students are expected to arrive on time, engage respectfully and complete any agreed work between sessions.
I aim to maintain a focused, calm and considerate working environment at all times. If a student's behaviour makes it difficult for teaching to continue safely or productively, I reserve the right to end the session and review whether the arrangement remains suitable. In such cases, the session fee remains payable.
9. Online Sessions
For online sessions, students are expected to join punctually using the agreed platform, in a quiet space with a stable internet connection. If a session cannot take place due to technical difficulties on the student's side, the session fee remains payable. If technical difficulties are on my side, an alternative session or refund will be offered.
10. Privacy and Communication
All communication regarding bookings, payments and student progress is conducted directly with parents or guardians. Student work and personal information is held securely and not shared with third parties.
