What is your cancellation policy?
Lessons are reserved for a student for a recurring time and day for a minimum of 1 hour every week until their final exam. The reservation can be cancelled at any time with a minimum of one week's notice. Individual lessons can also be cancelled or rearranged, again with a minimum of one week's notice. Lessons cancelled less than 1 week in advance will be charged at the usual rate. If lessons are cancelled or rearranged frequently I may refuse to take any further bookings and give the time slot to a student on my waiting list.
How do I pay for lessons?
Payment is by Auto-Pay from the card details you register with your account, and each payment is due at latest by the morning of the day of the lesson. Billing is weekly by default but please contact me if you would prefer monthly/termly invoicing. If payment has not cleared before the lesson start time the lesson cannot go ahead and further lessons cannot be confirmed. In cases of repeated payment reminders being required the student's reserved lesson slot may be forfeit and further lessons may be refused.
Which exam boards do you cover?
I currently specialise in the WJEC & OCR A specifications for A level chemistry. I do also have recent experience teaching to the AQA and Edexcel exam boards but I am not planning on expanding into Scottish qualifications, or OCR B. Please get in touch if you have another exam board or qualification which you would like me to help with.
I sometime accept lessons for specific help with degree level chemistry or chemistry components of other degree subjects.
Do you also teach face-to-face?
At the moment I am still only taking new bookings for online lessons, as I find that it works very well for one-to-one lessons in this age group. I do have a purpose built office at my home near Porthcawl, South Wales where I can welcome local students.
Will you accept one-off or occasional lessons?
Depending on my schedule I do occasionally take bookings for one-off lessons or a short series of lessons. This could be for catch-up or get ahead summer sessions for A level students or for university students struggling with the chemistry component of their course. Get in touch now to discuss your requirements.
Do you have a DBS background check?
Yes, I am fully DBS checked. Please follow this link to my Tutorful profile for evidence that this has been independently verified.
