Terms and Conditions

These terms bring together the current booking and payment information for The Learning Pod. Please complete the bracketed placeholder details before publishing or sharing the site with parents.

Add your final cancellation, refund, notice period, payment method and safeguarding details before these terms are used publicly.

Sessions and places

The Learning Pod offers online tutoring and home tutoring for children in Years 1 to 6 in Maths and English.

Sessions are one hour long. Group sessions are kept small, with a maximum of 4 children per session, and 1:1 tutoring is also available.

Booking and group matching

Enquiries begin with a conversation about your child's needs and availability.

An initial assessment or settling-in session may be used to help decide whether a group or 1:1 session is the right fit and what support will be most helpful.

[Add any further booking steps, waiting list process or notice needed to confirm a place.]

Fees and payment

Group sessions are charged at £25 per child, per one-hour session.

1:1 tutoring is charged at £30 per one-hour session.

These rates apply for both online tutoring and home tutoring.

Payment is required two weeks in advance to secure your child's place and allow sessions to run smoothly and consistently.

[Add the payment method, due dates and how invoices or reminders are sent.]

Attendance, cancellations and refunds

Details of cancellations, missed sessions and refunds should be set out clearly before launch.

[Add the notice period required to cancel a place or session.]

[Add whether missed sessions can be rearranged, credited or refunded.]

[Add the approach to tutor cancellations, illness and exceptional circumstances.]

Parents during sessions

Parents do not stay during home tutoring sessions. This helps children settle into the session and build independence in their learning.

Home tutoring sessions take place in a dedicated home learning space in Ashton-in-Makerfield, with nearby shops and cafes available while you wait.

Holiday sessions

Yes. Summer Booster sessions are available during the school holidays. They're a great way to keep skills ticking over or spend a little extra time on areas your child finds tricky.

[Add any booking, payment or cancellation arrangements that are specific to holiday sessions.]

Safeguarding and conduct

Safeguarding and children's wellbeing are a priority at The Learning Pod.

[Add links or references to the full safeguarding arrangements, behaviour expectations and any home-learning-space procedures that parents should know about.]
