GCSE
Please
note that I no longer offer GCSE or A-level tuition.
The majority
of my tuition is delivered one-to-one, enabling lessons
to be tailored to each student's individual needs.
Although I am experienced in teaching larger groups, I limit group tuition to
a maximum of four tutees, and only when it is genuinely beneficial, such as for
a group of friends or relatives preparing together for grammar school entrance
examinations or targeted English tuition.
Please note
that I operate independently, and am not associated with any franchise tuition
centre. This
allows me to offer fair, competitive group fees (£22 per hour for a group of
four), while providing high-quality, personalised tuition tailoured precisely to
each student's needs. Lessons take place at my home in Didsbury, where students
can concentrate without distractions and benefit from interactive, face-to-face
teaching using a wide range of carefully selected resources, rather than being
placed in front of a computer screen.
Terms and Conditions
"The
teacher" is Julia Maine.
"The
tutee"
refers to the person receiving or paying for tuition.
These Terms &
Conditions may change without notice. Updates will be posted at
manchesterenglishtutor.co.uk/FeesandTerms.htm.
First Lesson
Payment for the first lesson, together with payment in advance for the final lesson (held as a deposit
against breaches of the 24-hour cancellation policy), is required at the start or
before the first session. To continue with tuition, both the teacher and the tutee
(or parent/carer of a child tutee) must agree to
these Terms & Conditions.
Method
of Payment
Cash is payable at the start of each lesson, or payment may be made by bank
transfer for blocks of ten lessons in advance. Individual lessons are not
payable by bank transfer. Cheques are not accepted.
Attendance &
Reservation of Weekly Slots
Weekly
term-time slots are reserved for tutees who attend regularly and arrive
punctually. Persistent absence or lateness may result in the slot being
withdrawn and offered to another family.
Sharing Weekly Slots
Where siblings share a weekly time slot by attending on alternate weeks (by
prior agreement), an additional £3 per hour is charged for the second tutee.
24-Hour
Cancellation Policy
Lessons cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice are charged in full. The only
exception is illness that prevents the tutee from attending school or work on
the day of the lesson.
Punctuality
Late
arrivals will not extend the lesson time, and the full fee remains payable.
Tutees must be
collected promptly to avoid disrupting the next lesson. Repeated lateness may
result in losing the time slot.
Homework Homework is an
essential part of my tuition. Persistent failure to complete agreed homework may
result in the weekly time slot being withdrawn. Please
bring completed homework, your Homework Log, and any learning resources to
every lesson.
Progress
Monitoring
Progress is monitored through marked work, regular assessments and the Homework
Log. Parents
are welcome to discuss progress briefly at the beginning or end of a lesson.
Copyright
Resources are copyrighted and not for redistribution.
Parking
Please park considerately to allow neighbours access to their driveways.
