Private Tuition

Private tuition will continue from one half-term to the next unless cancellation notice is received. A trial period can be arranged for one session before committing if agreed initially. Private tuition will automatically cease during the summer holidays. Private lessons for that period can be arranged.

Saturday Sessions 

The session will run weekly including some out of term times and holidays. Sessions may only be canceled in the event of an annual occasion that clashes. A minimum of one week’s notice will be given in this circumstance. 

Extra Lessons

Extra lessons may be organised by prior agreement.

Fees and Invoicing

The Language Workshop will send out invoices before the start of each half-term.

Fees for each term are to be paid by the due date. 

If an invoice remains unpaid for 14 days after the due date, the Language Workshop reserves the right to add an extra 10% to the bill.

Missed lessons

Fees for lessons missed will not be refundable.

Lessons missed through the absence of the teacher will either be re-arranged or credited.      

Make-up lessons can be arranged at the discretion of the tutor where possible, if enough notice is given, and a good reason for a student absence. 

If a student has taken time off school or work due to illness we ask that they do not come in for their lessons. 

Notification of changes to scheduled lessons

The school will contact students by email or phone and it is their responsibility to make sure it is checked. Lessons missed due to failure to do so will be considered a forfeit.

Notice to discontinue lessons

Lessons and after-school club may be discontinued by giving one half-term’s notice of the intention to cease lessons. Failure to comply with this may render the student liable to pay the next half-term’s fees.

The Language Workshop reserves the right to terminate lessons with immediate effect if a student becomes physically or verbally abusive towards a tutor.

Parental Contact

The Language Workshop will provide each tutor with a contact to enable them to contact parents or guardians if ever necessary.

Student progress

Whilst the tutor will make every effort to improve the knowledge and ability of the student, the student cannot expect to progress without fully co-operating and adhering to the practice sessions advised.

Equipment

The student should have respect for the teaching equipment used at all times. Any damage to equipment provided by the Language Workshop will be charged to the student.

Photo and Video Consent 

From time to time we will use video and photographic material to promote the work we do          with our students. By signing this contract you are confirming that your consent is given for you or your son/daughter to be included in this material where appropriate.
