1-2-1 Lessons through schools:

• For those having lessons within schools;
  • Lessons are invoiced termly, invoices will be sent out the week before lessons start.
  • Payment will be expected within 10 working days (2 weeks) after receipt of invoice.
  • If you are having any payment issues, please contact me as I am happy to be flexible (this must be done before the invoice becomes overdue). If requesting a payment deadline extension, you must provide an exact date for when payment will be received in full (this can be a maximum of 3 weeks past the original deadline). 
  • Please make sure to use the invoice number as the payment reference.
  • If I am unwell or am unable to attend for teaching day I will make sure to either make this up at the end of a term or take it off the next term’s invoice.
  • If your child is unwell/off school and misses a lesson this may be made up over the term, if I have time available to make some of the missed time over the term within my teaching days I will be happy do so, (this is timetable dependent). In the circumstance that a lesson is missed due to school commitments, if the school lets me know enough in advance that there is a school event during a teaching day, I will coordinate with them to come in on a different day if possible. If the school does not let me know in advance the lesson will unfortunately be lost, please take this up with the school if this occurs.
  • If you wish to stop lessons, a full half term’s notice is required, (e.g. if you wish to stop lessons for the summer term, you must have informed me and the school’s music department before the February half-term break). If you do not let me know in time before you wish for lessons to stop, you will still be liable for the following term’s fees, this includes if your child leaves the school.
