1. The safety and well-being of your child is of utmost importance to us, and we undertake to care for your child to the best of our ability, however not Discoveringme-Ant Books, nor the tutors, nor any other person connected to Discoveringme-Ant Books will be held responsible for any loss, injury, mishap or illness which may occur on the premises or during lesson times. The parents/guardians hereby undertake to release the centre and its staff from any liability or claim arising from any such injuries or accidents and waives any claim which may arise as aforesaid.
2. Extra lessons are billed in advance and payable monthly, over 11 months. January will be billed pro-rata depending on the number of weeks when school term 1 commences. We have a ‘no pay, no teach’ policy. Lessons missed are not carried forward to the following month: the onus is on you to arrange a ‘catch-up’.
3. We are not closed during government school holidays. If the student does not attend lessons during school holidays, the lessons are forfeited. We will close at end November and re-open the week that the school term 1 commences in January each year. There are no lessons on national public holidays.
4. Extra lesson workbooks are billed separately. These are offered at a greatly discounted price to Discoveringme-Ant Books Tutor Centre students. Workbooks usually last 4-5 months, then need to be replaced. You will be informed when new books are required.
5. Your child will follow the Discoveringme-Ant Books Program or alternative program, where relevant. We do not do homework or work your child brings from school.
6. Lessons start and end promptly. Extra lessons are one hour long. Don’t be late as your child will miss part of the lesson. Please fetch your child promptly when the lesson ends as we do not have child-minding facilities.
7. Try not to miss a lesson. We can do a great deal in one hour per week – providing that the lessons are attended regularly. Speaking from experience, as soon as a child starts ‘hitting one, missing one’, they tend to stop making progress. Have the courtesy to let us know prior to the lesson if your child will be absent.
8. Lessons are handled in group format, maximum of 5 students per group. Your child will receive private tutoring during the session.
9. We do not discriminate against any other religion, but adhere to Christian principles.
10. To end lessons, a 30-day notice period is required, whereafter the final invoice will be send out to ensure the account is settled in full before the lessons end.
11. Trust us and the Program. The Discoveringme-Ant Books Tutor Centre programmes work – but you have to give them time. Be patient. There will come a time when you – and we – feel that they can cope adequately on their own, and then the decision is yours as to whether to continue or not.
