These simple guidelines help me to ensure that all students benefit from effective and creative teaching and that all students receive the equal attention they deserve.

Payments
- The cost of tuition is divided equally over 12 months of the academic year. The year runs from August to July. The tuition fee is the same regardless of the number of lessons scheduled that month. The cost of 30 minute lessons is £54 per month, 45 minute lessons are £81 per month.
- Payments are due by bank transfer at the start of every month. Late payments (after 7th) will incur a £5 late fee.
- Fees cover the cost of tuition, studio events and subscriptions
- Exam/festival entries and any books I buy for you will be invoiced separately.
Lesson Schedule
- There will be 36 lessons scheduled each academic year, over the 39 weeks between September and July. If it is not possible to offer all the scheduled lessons then a make up lesson will be offered at a different time, or if a suitable time cannot be arranged a refund will be offered.
Missed Lessons
- If a student will be missing their lesson for any reason, they should inform me via text or email with as much notice as possible so that a video or online lesson can be organised instead.
- In the case of inclement weather, lessons will be conducted via Zoom.
Punctuality
- Lessons are conducted back-to-back. There is no waiting area inside the studio, so students are asked to arrive at their lesson time and not before, and parents are asked to ensure they collect promptly at the end of the lesson.
