1:1 tutoring and coaching sessions are payable in advance.
I am not currently VAT-registered, so no VAT is charged on fees. If this changes in future, all prices will be clearly marked ex VAT and inc VAT.
*sessions may be rescheduled if necessary, if there are extenuating circumstances on either side. If I am unable to provide the service promised and a reschedule is not possible, you will be refunded the cost of the number of sessions missed at the rate matching the package originally booked.
*Please note that I live and work in Pembrokeshire and whilst I am happy to travel any distance for face-to-face visits but journeys of more than 100 miles will require an overnight stay at additional cost to the school - this will usually be a budget hotel such as travelodge, ibis or Days etc... Mileage is charged at the standard rate of 45p per mile.
