Simple, and honest about it

What you are charged for

Teaching time only. If you are a complete beginner your first lessons start somewhere quiet, and the drive there and back is not charged.

Paying

A £10 deposit reserves your lesson, paid online once I have confirmed it, and it comes off the price. The rest is due at the lesson — I prefer cash, or I can give you my bank details if you would rather transfer, which is what most people do for block bookings.

Cancelling

Please give me more than 48 hours' notice to cancel or move a lesson. Move it and your deposit moves with it; cancel and it comes back to you automatically. With less notice than that I keep the £10 deposit, because the slot is usually too late for anyone else to take.
