The majority of my tuition is delivered one-to-one, enabling me to tailor lessons to individual needs. Although I am experienced in teaching larger groups, I limit group sizes to a maximum of four, and only when it is genuinely beneficial, such as for exam preparation or targeted English skills.

Please note that I operate independently, and am not associated with any franchise. This allows me to offer fair and competitive group fees (£22 per hour for a group of four), whilst providing high-quality, personalised teaching without rigid or gimmicky programmes. Lessons take place at my home in Didsbury, where students can concentrate without distractions and benefit from a wide range of carefully selected resources.

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, plus an advance for the final lesson (as a deposit for breaches of the 24-hour cancellation policy), is required at the start or before the first session. To continue, both the tutee and teacher must sign these T&Cs.

Method of Payment

Cash is payable at the start of each lesson, or advance bank transfers for blocks of ten lessons (not for individual lessons). No cheques, please.

Attendance & Reservation of Weekly Slots

Weekly term-time slots are reserved for tutees with regular attendance and punctuality. Persistent absence or lateness may result in the slot being reassigned and replaced with cancellation slots, available on an as-needed basis.

Sharing Weekly Slots

If sharing a slot with a sibling (under special agreement) by alternating weekly attendance, an extra £3 per hour will be charged for the second tutee.

24-Hour Cancellation Policy

Cancellations made within 24 hours will be charged in full, except in cases of illness preventing school or work attendance.

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

Consistent failure to complete homework may result in losing the time slot.

Please bring to every lesson completed homework, your Homework Log, and learning resources.

Progress Monitoring

Progress can be tracked via marked work and the Homework Log. For questions, speak to the teacher when dropping off or before the lesson ends.

Copyright

Parking

Please park considerately to allow neighbours access to their driveways.
