Otherwise, the student is liable to be charged the full amount for the scheduled lesson, unless the tutor agrees not to charge you after a formal discussion. Uplift Future Academics reserves the right for every tutor to charge the cost of the lesson that is cancelled less than 6 hours before its due time, without possibility of this amount being refunded to the student or transferred to other tutors.
Students may reschedule their lessons by contacting Uplift Future Academics via phone/email. Students may be asked to provide the reason for cancellation which will be forwarded to the designated tutor.
CANCELLATION OF LESSONS BY TUTOR
Uplift Future Academics may cancel lessons with the students by giving 24 hours prior notice to the student in which there will be no fees incurred. If the lesson was pre-paid, the tutor shall reschedule the lesson to a time that works for both. Client shall be reimbursed for the missed lesson upon the failure of reappointment. Rescheduled sessions are to be completed within a 14 day time frame from the original scheduled date.

Uplift Future Academics calculate the fees according to the lesson time specified to the schedule. There will be no adjustments made for the time lost due to the students arriving late for the scheduled session. Students will only be taught for the allocated time with no extended sessions. If the tutor is late, the time lost will be compensated by extending the lesson upon agreement of both parties. Students that fail to show up to scheduled sessions will be fully responsible for payment of the session. There will be NO discounts/refunds in respect to non-attendance by the student.
