COST PER LESSON $40 for half an hour, $56 for 45 minutes, and $71 for one hour. These rates apply from April 1, 2023.
LESSONS and SCHOOL TERMS Groups of lessons are provided, usually during the school term.
PAYMENT OF FEES Fees are pre-paid for a group of lessons. Monies are to be paid, and in my account, by time of the first lesson.
PAYMENT METHOD Payment is by direct bank transfer.
STUDENT UNABLE TO ATTEND THE LESSON IN PERSON DUE TO COVID OR ANY OTHER REASON In these circumstances, please let me know ASAP and the lesson will be provided online via Zoom or similar. If pre-payment has been made for 5 or more lessons (e.g. a 10 lesson school term) and the student absolutely can't do the lesson online, a maximum of one makeup lesson will be provided at the teacher's discretion during the term or during the following school holidays.
CANCELLATION OF LESSON BY THE TEACHER If for any reason the teacher needs to cancel a lesson, a refund, makeup lesson, or future credit for that lesson will be given, so long as the student has pre-paid for that lesson.
COVID-SAFE PRACTICES - The following will be observed: Social distancing; hand hygiene; masks if appropriate. Please, only the student to attend in the lesson room, unless it's absolutely necessary to have someone accompany them.
LESSON STARTING TIME Please arrive promptly at the arranged lesson time, as a full lesson’s duration cannot be guaranteed if you are late. However, if you are running late, please let me know.
IF A STUDENT DECIDES TO DISCONTINUE LESSONS All pre-paid lessons are non-refundable.
