Lesson Fees
Lesson fees are charged the same for both PAYG and Block Booking students. Initially when students register, they normally start on a PAYG basis, then move to a block booking space once one becomes available that meets their availability.
PAYG (Pay as You Go) - Flexible
This means that you book lessons online through the student portal, these are available each week and you will be notified of these by text. There is no limit to the number of lessons you can book and it gives you flexibility, which can be useful if you have a busy schedule.
Block Booking - Set lesson day every week or fortnight
This means that you have a consistent lesson space where you are allocated a set day, time and frequency every week, for one year at a time. This space is renewable at the end of July each year for the year ahead. This option suits students who would like a consistent time to help them fit their tuition around other commitments. Students who have a block booking can also book additional lessons through the student portal as they wish. Block booking spaces are allocated based on your stated availability at the time when you register.
Lesson fees and charges are invoiced monthly in-advance, on the last day of each month.

Online Card Payments
We are now able to accept online card payments for the purposes of paying your monthly invoice. The online card payments are processed by Stripe. Bank Transfer will still remain the preferred option to pay your invoice, however, Stripe offer a feature to automatically pay your invoice once it is issued which may be convenient for some students.
