Fees, Terms & Conditions
 

Fees

Tailored 1:1, with small-group tuition arranged on request. Fees are based on lesson length and the number of tutees sharing a lesson.

11+ Grammar School Entrance Exam Prep  (Key Stage 2 up to Year 6) + Adult Literacy

Key Stage 3 (Years 7-8)

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, generally friends or relatives who wish to learn together and are of the same year group and working towards the same goal, such as a grammar school entrance examinations.

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 and Payment

Payment for the first lesson is required at the start of or before the lesson. Both the tutee and teacher must sign these T&Cs at the first lesson to continue with tuition.

Subsequent lessons must be paid for in cash at the start of each session, or by bank transfer in advance for blocks of ten lessons only. Bank transfers are not accepted for individual lessons. 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 Persistent absence or lateness may result in the slot being withdrawn and offered to another family.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.

Parking
