Frequently Asked Questions

Some frequently asked, and important questions

• Are you DBS checked?
  Yes - it is also renewed annually and you are welcome to ask to see it as well.
   
• Do you do Face to Face or Online Sessions?
  I may be a little old fashioned in the way things are taught, but I believe subjects are best taught in person to make them fully interactive. Once a rapport is built with the student and I can gauge their interest and method of learning, then we can move some sessions online.
   
• Where do you teach?
  Sessions can be taught at the students home (if the student is under 18, then there must be a Parent/Guardian present) or at our premises in Street, Somerset (BA16 0EX).
   
• What are your fees?
  My hourly rate is £35.00. If there is a fair distance to travel (i.e. outside of the catchment area mentioned below) then an additional fee is charged at 30p per mile (round-trip) from BA16 0EX. The rate is negotiable if you opt for regular sessions.
   
• What is your catchment area?
  I generally cover 10 miles within BA16 0EX. Which covers a large area of Somerset, including:
  
  • Ashcott
  • Bridgwater
  • Burtle
  • Chilton Polden
  • Compton Dundon
  • Curry Rivel
  • Ilchester
  • Langport
  • Meare
  • Shepton Mallet
  • Somerton
  • Wedmore
  • Wells
  
  
• What happens if I need to cancel a session?
  A session must be cancelled by the Parent/Guardian as opposed to the student and as much notice as possible needs to be given. If the session is not going to be re-scheduled and is cancelled with less than 48 hours notice then the full session fee will be payable.
   
• Do you have any online learning materials?
  Yes - all of my materials are available on the online portal. All students (regardless of amount of sessions) are given access to this.
   
• Do you have any SEN experience?
  My SEN teaching experience is ever increasing, and I have a child of my own with SEN as well. We can always arrange an introductory session to see if I can meet the needs of the student through my teaching.
   
• I would just like access to the online resources, is this possible?
  Not a problem - all of our students get access to this free of charge whilst they learn with me, if you just want access to the material then we can do this for £50.00 per month.
