ATTENDANCE

If you cannot begin lessons for a week or three because of a holiday or work commitment (or any other reason), I am unable to reserve any unpaid sessions in your absence or to extend paid sessions beyond the block of lessons paid for, so it's best to contact me on your return to book and pay for a set of lessons and to begin your studies then instead of starting lessons and taking a break after you've begun. You can reserve lessons while you are away by paying a retainer, otherwise the sessions will be offered to other prospective students on the waiting list. 

Students are expected to attend regularly and punctually at the time arranged. If you are late for a lesson, I cannot extend it for you into someone else's lesson; if you are too early, the same applies.

BANK HOLIDAYS

No lessons are held on Bank Holidays, with no loss of fees to students

CANCELLATIONS

If you find that you have to miss a lesson, please let me know 48 hours in advance, otherwise fees wil not be refundable.

If students are unable to transfer to another day or time that week, fees for any last minute cancelled lessons are not refundable.

Lessons missed owing to cancellation by the tutor will be made up and fees will not be lost by the student.

REGULAR CANCELLATIONS

Where a student persistently cancels lessons for whatever reasons, or fails to turn up on a regular basis, I reserve the right to terminate their lessons. 

DISCONTINUATION

If you wish to discontinue lessons during paid sessions, any fees paid will be forfeited if the lessons don't continue up to the end of the contracted four-week period.
