What happens if I, or you, need to cancel a lesson?
Cancellations may occur for various reasons.
There are no charges for cancelling a booked lesson up to an hour before the lesson is due to start. If the lesson is cancelled within an hour of its start time a £5 fee is due.
If your child fails to show for their lesson, or you fail to cancel the lesson without prior notice, then the full lesson payment will be required before another lesson takes place.
In the event that I need to cancel a lesson, I'll endeavor to inform you with at least 24 hours notice. On rare occasions, due to illness or other unforeseen circumstances, this may be less but I will always provide as much notice as possible.
How do you personalise tutoring lessons for each child?
I assess each child's learning style and needs to tailor the tutoring approach accordingly. Lessons are planned according to these assessments and my planning is adapted after each lesson to suit your child. If you have a recent school report I can also work from any targets your child's teacher may have set.
How do you help to settle the children you tutor and where will the lessons be held?
If your child's tutoring lesson is at my home you are welcome to stay with them for the first couple of lessons or until they are settled.
For sessions at the child's home I request a quiet area to work in with a table and chairs suitable for the child's age (depending on age of child) and a bit of space, if needed, for practical work.
