Any block of hours booked is determined by the Terms and Conditions of Private Tuition. Student(s) wishing to book a trial lesson have to pay the hourly fee plus £30 administration fee. The administration fee is not refundable in the event they decide not to proceed with private tuition after the trial lesson. Terms and Conditions for enrolment apply also to private tuition.

Online Private Tuition can also be arranged.
