Amanda Ceglowski

Attendance and Absenteeism

Learners who miss lessons without excusing themselves, or who have not been excused by their parents/guardians, at least 24 hours beforehand, will be charged for those lessons. This condition will be waived in the case of sudden illness or an accident. If a learner is unable to make a given lesson, owing to a school or an extra-curricular commitment, and has excused himself/herself, the onus is on the parent/guardian/learner to make up that lesson at a time that suits both the teacher and the learner.

Should Amanda have to miss a lesson for a valid reason, another provision will be made to accommodate the learner/s in question at a mutually agreed time.

Payment Options

• Payment may be made per lesson on a cash basis, by arrangement.
• Payment may be made monthly in advance.
• Payment may be made at the beginning of any given term, in advance.

Please make your payment option clear on enrolment. Payment details will be provided accordingly.

Should a payment be two or more weeks overdue after the issuing of an invoice, future services will be withdrawn.

Notice Period

One full school term’s notice of the termination of tuition is required.

Behaviour

Discourteous or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated. Any learner who does not behave acceptably on the premises will be asked to leave.

As a qualified counsellor, I am also available to counsel both learners and parents/guardians who would like to avail themselves of this service. A fee of R500 per hour will be charged.

Tuition Options
