Attendance and Make Up Lesson Policy

• If a student misses a lesson because of sickness, a make-up lesson is possible due to my availability. There is a maximum of only ONE possible make-up lessons granted per-semester.If you think you have a tight schedule and need to take a month off, you still need to pay for that month.

• Arriving on time is at the upmost importance. This act demonstrates respect and links to proper progress of instruction.

• If a student is sick, it is advised NOT to attend. However, if the student desires a lesson nevertheless, students must wear a protective mask that covers the nose and mouth during the entire length of the lesson. Please, notify me ASAP if this course of action is required

• The calendar year for lessons will finish at the end of June. In July, two lessons will occur at the arrangements between teacher(s) and parent(s).

• The new calendar year for lessons will begin at the start of August. 

• Beyond the first one or two lessons, parents MAY keep attending the lessons but SHOULD NOT interfere in the process no matter how well the intention may be.

• All student information and progress will be communicated within a communication book. However, if there are any pressing additional questions regarding student progress, please ask at the start of the lesson rather at the end.
