Fees Payable to Ahead Tuition
1.1 The fees payable to Ahead Tuition will be calculated and must be settled prior to the student’s first lesson attendance. A student shall not be permitted to attend classes if fees remain unpaid prior to the session. No additional fees will be charged. Ahead Tuition reserves the right to modify fees; a minimum notice period of 6 weeks will be provided to parents and students.
Payment
2.1 Payments must be made in advance of the first session. In the event of a payment plan, as agreed upon by Ahead Tuition, the initial payment should be made one month in advance. Regardless of the payment arrangement, fees must be remitted before the commencement of the first session. All payments are to be processed through the website. If a payment plan is employed, an invoice will be issued.
2.2 Upon request, a sibling discount of £30.00 will be applied to both students. Additionally, a £30.00 voucher will be granted for each successful referral, benefiting both the referred individual and the referrer. This voucher can be deducted from an upcoming payment or used for a future booking. The sibling discount and referral voucher cannot be used simultaneously.
Cancellation and Refund
3.1 A prepaid session can be canceled with a 48-hour notice, and an alternative session will be scheduled within the same week.
In the absence of a 48-hour notice, no alternative lesson or credit will be provided for sessions missed by the student. Changing to a lesson on a different day requires Ahead Tuition’s approval with the appropriate notice period. If a student is unable to attend the alternative session, no other sessions or refind can be offered.
3.2 If Ahead Tuition cancels a lesson for any reason before the scheduled start time, an alternate lesson will be offered. Students will have the option to attend a different class that week, or credit will be issued for use in a future session.
Arrival and Scheduling
4.1 Fees are calculated based on the agreed-upon schedule between the student and Ahead Tuition. No fee adjustments will be made due to the student’s late arrival or early termination of a lesson. If a tutor arrives late, any lost time will be compensated by extending the lesson with mutual consent by the same amount of time that was missed.
4.2 Tutors will wait for up to fifteen minutes from the scheduled lesson time for the student to arrive. After this period, the lesson will be considered ‘canceled’ without prior notice, following the cancellation policy outlined in the ‘Cancellation and Refund’ section.
