Online tuition terms & conditions:
- Online tuition fees are on a monthly "top-up/pre-paid" basis, similar to a pre-pay mobile phone arrangement where you buy minutes. (See pricing below)
- "Minutes" must be purchased in advance for use during the current month.
- Lessons must be booked at least 7 days prior to the lesson to confirm an agreeable session date & time between pupil (parent) and tutor.
- Credit minutes must be used a minimum of 20 minutes at a time.
- Minimum lesson duration is 20 minutes.
- Unused minutes expire on at the end of each month and do not roll-over to the following month.
- If the tutor must cancel any credits will carry forward even to the following month.
- It is recommended to confirm the date & time of the sessions prior to making payment.
- Students will have access to the online resources (printed and audio material) whilst in credit.
- All learning material, audio, written (online resources) are solely for the use of the pupil and not to be shared or given away, including the online account.

- Students will need an instrument for the lesson and for regular playing outside of lessons.

- Though not essential, an additional device audio playback will be of great benefit and enhance the learning sessions substantially, ie a phone/mp3-player/laptop/tablet
- Be prepared- Test your audio and video prior to commencing lessons and have your instrument tuned and ready where possible.
Safeguarding
