General Terms and Conditions
-Covid
Meeting in person is reviewed regularly at this time due to the situation with Covid. Lessons may move online at short notice.
Masks may be necessary so please be ready to wear one if asked. These will be provided.
Each person entering the home must wash their hands with soap for 20 seconds in the facilities provided.
Regular Covid testing is encouraged (just like at school).
-Fees
Fees are £40 per session and are payable at the end of each session. This can be by cash or preferably via online banking.
Fees are inclusive of usual use of teaching and learning resources.
Fees include unlimited access to an online reading and spelling portal as required.
At times it may be necessary for the parent or carer to purchase books etc for their child’s learning. I will give as much notice of this as possible.
If lessons are to take place in your home the fee is £80 per session to take into account the time taken to travel to and from my home.
-Cancellation Policy
Cancellation by the student is allowed with no charge up to 48 hours before the lesson is due to take place. If between 2 and 48 hours notice is given a 50% charge may be incurred if the lesson cannot be rescheduled. For no shows, 100% fee is still due.
I will endeavour to give as much notice as possible if I need to cancel or otherwise reschedule a lesson. I will inform you in advance of holiday dates etc.
There is a two week notice period if you wish to end using the service.
-Keeping in touch
I will give a brief update to you as the parent at the end of each session.
My preferred method of communication at other times is between 9am and 6pm Monday to Friday via email or text 07946 348 191. WhatsApp is also fine. I believe in us working together to help your child. You are the parent and know them best, so please feel free to arrange a longer chat if you need to discuss a particular issue.
If working remotely, please endeavour to scan the students' work and send it to me by the morning of their session.
Please allow your child to complete any learning tasks independently so I can see areas that need further in-depth teaching and experience.
