How your lessons work for the client.
Clients are allowed to share their lessons between siblings and more than one subject, however the recommended lesson length and frequency of lessons should stay the same. Learners work well with a balanced and routine approach to tutoring. Your lesson duration is purchased per hours. You can halve and split them if you need 1.5 hours not 2 hours, and then have 0.5 hours left for another 1.5 hour if needed. We do try and accommodate times, hours, lessons and so more to make it easier for parents to change if need be. Our Tutor needs to be committed we do need a minimum of 1 lesson per week. We ask our clients to purchase 10 hours, they would need to use them within 10 weeks. If they can’t please contact us, to try and make alternative arrangements. We do try and accommodate our clients to keep on getting tutoring from them.
