Everything you need to know for a smooth experience

We believe understanding your tutoring setup should be simple. Here’s the lowdown on how things run—covering booking, payments, make-up sessions, and more.

Booking in: Your tutoring schedule

School-aligned, set-and-forget convenience

  • School Calendar Friendly: We stick to the regular government school calendar (four 10-week terms), making it easy to plan holidays and downtime.
  • Regular Sessions: Your child gets at least 10 paid sessions each term. Sessions run at the same time every week for structure and consistency.
  • Easy Starts: Jumping in mid-term? Private school calendar different? Or want sessions grouped before exams? No worries—we’re flexible!
  • No Public Holidays: If tutoring falls on a public holiday, we’ll reschedule that session—no stress.

Can’t make a lesson?

Cancellation & rescheduling policy

Life happens—and we get it! If an event pops up or your schedule changes, just let us know as soon as you can.

  • Planned Cancellations: Give us at least 5 days’ notice (think school events or travel).
  • Last-Minute Issues: For sickness or emergencies, just text/email before your child’s session starts.
  • Note: Sessions you cancel with short notice might not be eligible for a catch-up, but we’ll always try to help. The main thing: keep us in the loop!

Catch-up sessions: the fine print

Life happens—and we get it! If an event pops up or your schedule changes, just let us know as soon as you can.

  • Planned Cancellations: Give us at least 5 days’ notice (think school events or travel).
  • Last-Minute Issues: For sickness or emergencies, just text/email before your child’s session starts.
  • Note: Sessions you cancel with short notice might not be eligible for a catch-up, but we’ll always try to help. The main thing: keep us in the loop!

Catch-up sessions are something extra we offer—they aren’t guaranteed and depend on our availability and capacity. These are not part of your regular scheduled lessons, and you can’t use them as credit for future lessons or fees. We’ll always try our best, but sometimes spots just aren’t open.

Because we don’t run large group lessons, our catch-up policy needs to be fair to all our families and tutors. Our tutors are paid regardless of whether your child attends, so we can only offer a make-up lesson if another family gives us enough notice to free up a slot for you. This approach is how we keep our prices low and continue to offer affordable lessons at our learning centres.

Flexible options for missed sessions

We try to meet you where you’re at—here’s how catch-ups work:

  • Planned Absence: Tell us 5 working days ahead if you know a session can’t be attended for a non-sickness reason.
  • Sick Days: Just let us know before your session. We’ll try to set up a catch-up, but it depends on availability. Early notice also lets us offer that spot to another family.

Catch-up session rules

  • No Refunds: We don’t refund for missed lessons, but we do offer catch-up sessions when possible.
  • Not for Future Credit: Catch-up lessons can’t be used as credit or swapped for future regular sessions.
  • Based on Availability: Catch-ups are offered outside of your regular lesson schedule and only when we have space or capacity.
  • Tutor Match: We can’t promise you’ll get the same tutor for a catch-up, but we have lots of awesome tutors on board.
  • Get in Early: The more flexible you are and the earlier you get in touch, the better chance you’ll get a slot that works.
  • Try Online: Need more options? Take the session online—it’s super easy and a great way to try our digital platform if you’re curious!
  • Carry-Overs: Only carried over if your child is still enrolled for the next term (and only once). Must be used in the following term, or they expire.
  • How to Book: You can take back-to-back sessions or book on another day. Lots of families save catch-ups for end-of-term exam prep.

What if my child & their tutor just aren’t clicking?

Finding the right fit—Our tutor match policy

Not every tutor is perfect for every student, and that’s okay! If your child just isn’t vibing with their current tutor:

  • Let us know, and we’ll arrange a change—your child can try two different tutors if needed.
  • If you’re still not happy after the second swap, you can request to cancel, ask for a refund, or tap into our money-back guarantee.
  • Our aim is to make sure your child feels comfortable and supported every time they come to tutoring.

Staying enrolled: The ultimate in easy

Automatic term bookings & direct debit

  • Roll-Over System: All students stay enrolled for the next term—no need to re-register. If you’re on auto-pay via direct debit, your payments just keep rolling on.
  • Changing Your Mind? Give us at least 14 days’ written notice before the new term. We’ll cancel or adjust your spot and stop the direct debit so you don’t pay for unwanted sessions.
  • Missed the Notice Window? If you don’t let us know in time, fees for the next term’s lessons will still apply.
  • Your Family, Your Schedule: We know life changes. If the term ahead needs tweaks, drop us a line with 14 days’ notice, and we’ll help secure a time that actually works for you.

Need to pause tutoring?

Taking a break for life’s big moments

Sometimes you just need to hit pause (like for illness or family emergencies). Here’s what to do:

  • Give us at least 14 days’ written notice.
  • Refunds only happen if you provide a doctor’s certificate.
  • Otherwise, we’ll do our best to help you and your family while you take a breather.

Finishing up: How to end your tutoring journey

Simple notice—no hassles

If tutoring isn’t working for your family anymore, just send us 14 days’ written notice. We’ll confirm when sessions finish and handle any final details so you can move on stress-free.

How to pay: Keeping it flexible

Options for every family

You can pay for your sessions in a way that works for you:

  • Upfront Bank Transfer: Pay for the whole term via direct deposit (use invoice number + child’s surname as a reference).
  • Upfront Credit Card: We accept Visa & Mastercard (1.32% fee applies—provider cost).
  • Fortnightly Auto-Pay (Bank Account): Our most budget-friendly! Payments come out every two weeks, and we cover all fees. If a payment bounces, a dishonour fee applies. Need to change your direct debit date? Easy! Just give us 2 days’ notice before the next payment.
  • Fortnightly Auto-Pay (Credit Card): Payments are charged to your card every two weeks (standard fees apply).

Avoiding Fees:

Make sure your payment details are up to date, and funds are available on payment day. If something changes, let us know quickly, and we’ll help. Any fees or charges for a failed payment (per your signed agreement) are your responsibility.

Our 30-day guarantee: Try us, risk-free

When refunds don’t apply

We want you to have peace of mind, but there are a few ground rules:

  • If your child’s asked to leave due to repeated poor behaviour (e.g. disrespect, ongoing disruptions), refunds under the guarantee won’t apply.
  • Miss any of the first 4 sessions in the first 4 weeks? The guarantee can’t be claimed.
  • If you’ve not reached out with concerns during your first 30 days, the guarantee is void.
  • Offers that are discounted or promo-based aren’t typically covered.
  • Let us know within the first 30 days if you want to use the guarantee.

We aim to be fair and transparent—reach out if you’re unsure about how the guarantee works.

Your privacy matters

How we handle your data

We know your personal info is important, so we make data security a top priority. All your details are stored securely online—never locally or onsite. We use trusted platforms like Amazon Web Services through our lesson CRM software partners, and payments are processed through industry-standard payment systems to keep your info safe. We never store payment details ourselves, and we do our best to ensure your information stays private and protected.

Confidentiality promise

All your family’s info and student progress is kept 100% private. We never share your details, results, or contact info (unless you ask or the law requires).

Committed to safety

Venues & safety first

All our venue partners have strong policies in place to ensure the highest level of safety and security for children and vulnerable people. We work only with venues that meet compliance standards, so you can be confident your child is in a secure environment. On top of that, we have our own safety processes, checks, and ongoing reviews to keep everything running smoothly and safely.

Safeguarding & student wellbeing

Your child’s safety is our number one priority. All tutors have valid Working With Children Checks and follow our strict safety standards. If you ever have concerns, let us know right away—we’ll act fast.
