Details

Proof of payment for particular travel cost will be provided to the student for reimbursement on up to £50 of costs (any cost of travel above will be covered by me).

Due to the current public health situation, lessons are only available online for the time being. Exceptions apply if the student's particular circumstances would significantly hinder the quality of the session unless delivered in an in-person format; in this scenario, I require proof of a NEGATIVE Lateral Flow SARS-CoV-2 Antigen Test taken up to 24 hours and no later than 12 hours before the start of the session - I will, naturally, provide the student with this information as well; furthermore, depending on weather condition and location, sessions may be suggested to take place outdoors (social distancing, NO masks) or indoors (both social distancing AND masks required, unless student can demonstrate a valid exemption certificate).
