CANCELLATION AND REFUND POLICY
1. Refund Policy for Online Tuition
By booking tuition services, you agree to the following terms:
Rescheduling/Late Arrivals/Cancellation:
To reschedule or cancel, contact us at least 48 hours before your booking. Missed appointments or late cancellations aren't refundable and will be charged at the full rate (e.g., a missed £80 session will be charged £80).
Please arrive on time for your session. A session will be considered a no-show, and therefore cancelled, if you arrive more than 15 minutes late.
Sessions are limited to the original booked timeframe, and cannot overrun. Please respect your tutor's time, as other students will be booked immediately following your session.
​
Refunds:
Refunds incur a £25 admin fee per tuition session (individual or bundle). For example, for a £80 session, you'll receive £55 (£80 - £25 = £50). PayPal processing fees are also deducted from the final refund amount.
​
Tuition Bundle Refunds:
For unused or partially completed bundles, a £25 cancellation fee per unused session applies, plus PayPal fees. For example, for a Bundle of Three (£185), the refund will be £110 (£185 - £75 = £110). If you've used sessions, they'll be charged at the full individual session price (£80) and deducted from the refund. PayPal fees will also be deducted from the final refund amount.
14-Day Cooling-Off Period for Digital Services:
In compliance with the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, customers have the right to cancel their purchase of online tuition services within a 14-day cooling-off period, starting from the date of purchase, without providing any reason. However, this right to cancel and request a refund within the cooling-off period will be waived if the customer has already accessed or started the online tuition, thereby acknowledging that they will lose their right to cancel and receive a refund once the service has commenced.
Eligible Refund Period:
Refunds can be issued within 14 days of the initial payment date, in accordance with the cooling-off period; however, this right to a refund is waived if the tuition has already commenced. Once the 14-day cooling-off period has passed or the tuition has started, only rescheduling or cancellation (at the full rate) is allowed.
​
Redeem sessions within 3 months of payment, or fees are forfeited. For tuition bundles, book and use sessions before expiration (3 sessions in 3 months, 5 sessions in 5 months).
Unused sessions in expired bundles aren't refundable and can't be used or reactivated.
Please be mindful that it's the student's responsibility to book sessions within bundle timeframes.
​
Booking System Protection:
​
Our refund policy protects the booking system from abuse, respecting tutors' time and allowing other students access to available slots by enforcing clear terms for rescheduling, cancellation, and refunds.
With a 48-hour notice requirement for changes and an administration fee for refunds, the policy aims to discourages frivolous bookings.
Defined timeframes for redeeming sessions further ensure thoughtful and responsible use of our services.
