Four lessons are the minimum in 4 weeks and then renewed monthly ongoing through the term is the usual agreement. The date for renewal is in the 3rd week for 4 lessons monthly.

This 4 weeks minimum booking & ongoing 4 weekly tuition is usual for all one to one lessons with all Tutors and Tuition organisations. Including lots of lesson planning

Holiday Time Tuition is also 4 hours minimum per subject.

Family Discounts

I offer Family discounts and shared tuition for different age groups available on the same day,

Fees & Terms

Fees are as stated in the specific area of this profile

Ordinary tuition:- The minimum number of hourly lessons is 4 (equivalent to 4 weeks). Online tuition min 8 lessons.

Planning & Admin
Travel may be charged over 20 miles round trip

Single lessons include a premium above the hours tuition lesson fee (This decision is after some tutees have not considered that they are taking tutee time for long term more dedicated students).

Only taking two lessons attracts a cancellation fee. Late notification of cessation of monthly continuation (which should be in the 3rd week) will attract a weeks fee while another student is engaged ie books the lesson period

Non availability fees are waived if lessons are rescheduled with 24hr notice for the same week. Moving on a week is by discretion. There are no refunds if the tutor has to advise non availability but rescheduling can be arranged.

Full Cancellation of tuition requires a weeks notice. Lesson planning time may be charged. Group tuition cancellation costs are the hours for one week.

Additional Info

All single lessons for Key stage or GCSE for analysis of tests for example are the ordinary rate plus £15.00.

In revision weeks single lessons must be weekends and £80 for 2 hours to avoid inconveniencing students who require 4 tuition sessions.

A Level tuition assessments are on a one-off basis for retake planning are the fee plus £15 for 2 hours.

Cancellation notice for any single lesson with less than 24hrs notice will incur an additional £10 fee for preparation and/or travel, unless there is an unforseen problem

Any communication should be by email with a text or phone message as an addition.

It is the responsibility of the Tutee or Tutee`s representative to determine & advise the tutees examination board details.

Fees are by cash (receipted) paypal invoice or bank transfer, an agreement is available

It is the students responsibility to work hard towards & take the examinations, Tutors do all they can to help boost grades, refunds are not made if the examination results are not improved.

Please note teaching organisations recommend tutors charge 2.5 x the basic teaching salary converted to hours this equals £42.50 per hour, therefore the rate charged (including an hours work before the lesson time, & travel time), represents truly excellent value and is competitive.

I also write resources & make web-blog subject `intranets` for tutees. The resources are provided for the students ongoing reference and study help for their subject and are free to use.

I check all subject specifications & find suitable textbook & online resources. I prepare individualised lesson plans and resources tailored to Students. Preparation and Admin takes another 2-3 hours daily reflected in the rate. Marking is in the form of comments on improvements to work set.

For short bookings, extra preparation time may be charged . Tuition lesson payments are not refundable.
