For home visits, if you live more than 10 miles from me, there is an additional £4 charged per visit. This is to partially cover my travel cost and time. As this only partially covers my travel cost and time, spaces for home visits are limited. If you choose to come to me for lessons there is no extra cost and you will just be charged the standard professional going rate shown above. Live video call lessons and video exchange lessons are a discounted price.
Video calls are usually a better option if you are unable to come to me, as lessons that take place in my home are always more effective and efficient whether they are in-person or via video call, due to the professional setup and the fact that all my teaching resources are to hand.

Payments must be on or before the day of the lesson.

Credit/debit card or PayPal via secure online checkout. If you are in the UK I can also accept payments by any of the methods described above. Payment via PayPal invoice or Square invoice is another option.

Cancellation Policy
I understand that sometimes important things come up that are unavoidable and I aim to rearrange cancelled lessons whenever possible, so I do not charge for cancellations if I have been given reasonable notice. However, as a courtesy I do ask that if I have turned up to the lesson and then it is cancelled, that the fee is still paid so that I am not left out of pocket due to my travel expenses and lost time. For discounted block bookings there is no refund for cancellations e.g. if you pay for a block of lessons in advance and then decide to discontinue lessons before all the booked lessons have been done, you forfeit your payment. However I will carry over your payment if your discontinuation of lessons is only temporary and I have been given plenty of notice (at least 24 hours notice), e.g. if you are going away for a couple of weeks and need to stop lessons just for those two weeks.
If I need to cancel a lesson myself I will aim to rearrange the missed lesson or carry over your payment to cover the next lesson if you have paid in advance. If it is not possible to rearrange the lesson or carry over your payment to the next lesson I will refund you if you have already paid in advance. I do not charge for lessons that I have cancelled myself. So, if I cancel a lesson which you have not yet paid for, you do not need to pay for that lesson. You will only need to pay for subsequent lessons.
