Tuition

What does the hourly fee include?

Each lesson is personally tailored to meet your child's needs. The hourly fee includes preparation time, travel within Sunderland and a full hour of teaching. Travel outside of Sunderland will incur an additional charge. 

​

Is my home a suitable venue?

For home tuition, we will need a table to work at and a quiet environment without distractions.

Do I need to book a minimum amount of lessons?

After the initial session, you will pay for sessions a month at a time in advance. We ask for a month's notice if you wish to cancel to give us a chance to arrange alternative work. 

 

Advance payments cover term-time only; if you wish to have any additional sessions over the holidays, this can be arranged with your tutor if mutually convenient and will be invoiced on an ad-hoc basis.  

What if I need to cancel?

Individual lessons should be cancelled with at least 48 hours notice. The price of this lesson will be credited towards the next month's tuition if it cannot be rearranged in the same month.

​

You are entitled to one 'free' short notice (less than 48 hrs) cancellation per term in the event of illness/ emergency. This allows for one unexpected sick day - any other sessions cancelled at short notice will incur the normal lesson fee. 

​​

If for any reason you forget to cancel and we turn up for the session, the full fee will apply. 

​

​

How do I pay?

Payment is by monthly invoice in advance of the lessons you have booked. 

Assessments

What does the price include?

The assessment price includes travel to the venue (within 25 miles - extra travel costs may apply if the journey is greater than this) the assessment session, a comprehensive report and a follow up discussion to explain the report and answer any questions you may have. 

​

​

Is my home a suitable venue?

It is important that:

​

  • There is a table with chairs to work at

  • There are no distractions in the room (e.g. people walking through or pets that can distract a child and therefore affect the test results)

  • It is quiet

  • There is an adult present somewhere else in the house/ home

​

​

How do I pay?

You will receive an invoice upon booking your assessment.

​

After agreeing a date, we ask for a £50 deposit (payable within 1 week) to secure the date. This is non-refundable. 

 

The remaining balance is then due on the day the assessment takes place.
