FEES / PAYMENTS

Payments

A reminder that there are no refunds for lessons missed during the term. In the event your tutor is unavailable, we will provide a qualified substitute tutor for that lesson. The term fee is payable right from lesson one.
 
Once enrolment has been completed on our database, should you change your mind about lessons, a $20 admin fee will still be charged, to cover administrative costs involved . There will also be a charge for the lessons already received – $12 per lesson. Please note, however, that withdrawal from the programme after two or more lessons will result in a full term fee payment requirement. This is due to the fact that no new students are able to be accepted into classes after the second week due to lesson disruption.
 

There are two ways to pay: bank deposit, or online payment.
