No cancellations are allowed once you commit to weekly tutoring, but you can reschedule lessons with 48 h notice. Three cancellations per year (Sept-June) are allowed on this scheme, any additional cancellations are charged for. I reserve the right to cancel the tuition due to multiple cancellations, disruptive behaviour, or non-payment of tuition fees.

Q. How do I book a tuition slot?

Most students commit to weekly slots, at a fixed time each week. If you require semi-intensive tuition, then please get in touch to see list of available slots. I also operate a cancellation list for students who only want occasional lessons.
 
Q. Can I book a trial lesson?

I always recommend that the first lesson is book as a stand-alone. This gives students a chance to try out online tutoring, and decide if my tutoring style works for them. If it does, I can book lessons on a longer-term basis, on the monthly payment scheme.

Q. Can I book a one-off lesson to help with my homework?

I welcome trial lessons with no further commitment. However, students show marked improvement after 2-3 regular sessions. The best results are obtained from students who work with me for the entire term or year, as we are able to set realistic and achievable goals. Please do not book trial lessons if you need one-time or urgent help with homework, trial lessons are designed to help you understand my teaching style and we may not be able to address specific problems due to time constraints.
