Fees
Online and Face-to-face Lessons
Online lessons
Although there is flexibility with regard to the date and time of the lessons, the number of hours must be booked and paid for in full 10 days before the first lesson. A minimum of 5 hours must be booked and can be extended. If a student does not show up for an online lesson without prior notice of a delay, the teacher will wait for 15 minutes and then close the Zoom lesson and the lesson will be forfeited (unless there are extenuating circumstances).
Face-to-face lessons
For face-to-face lessons, it is recommended that each session be a minimum of 2 hours. The hourly fee for F2F lessons is £48.00. There are NO additional costs to pay. Once the schedule for face-to-face lessons has been fixed and booked, missed lessons cannot be refunded or rescheduled.
For both online and face-to-face lessons, payment is either by bank transfer or PayPal (this will incur an extra charge of 5.35% of the course cost). You must cover any transaction costs so that the full amount arrives. If less than 24 hours' notice is given (other than for illness or extenuating circumstances), the lesson cannot be rescheduled and you will be charged for the missed lesson.
There is no booking/registration fee.
