Billing Cycle

Payments for tutoring services/fees are processed monthly via direct debit or credit card 10 days in advance of the next month’s sessions. This billing cycle operates as follows:

1. Initial Setup: The tuition payment agreement specifies that fees will be automatically debited from the client’s nominated account every month, specifically 10 days before the start of the next month.
   A) This payment covers all scheduled sessions in the upcoming month.
   B) The total payment may vary month-to-month based on whether there are four or five scheduled sessions in the upcoming month.
2. Advance Notice: Clients are informed in advance about the upcoming billing cycle and the amount that will be debited from their accounts, providing clients with ample time to ensure sufficient funds are available in their accounts.
3. Automatic Debit: On the designated date, which is typically 10 days before the start of the next month, the agreed-upon tuition fee is automatically debited from the client’s bank account or charged to their designated payment method.
4. Monthly Recurrence: This billing cycle repeats itself monthly, ensuring that tuition fees are collected in advance for the upcoming month’s services.
5. Continuous Service: As long as the client wishes to continue receiving tutoring services, the billing cycle will continue monthly, providing uninterrupted access to educational support. Clients can expect the same process to repeat each month, with fees being debited 10 days in advance of the subsequent month.
   a) Services can be paused or cancelled as per the relevant policies
6. Adjustments: Any changes to tuition fees or billing details are communicated to clients in advance to ensure transparency and avoid confusion. This may include rate adjustments, changes to the billing date, or updates to payment methods.

Overall, the monthly billing cycle with a 10-day advance debit ensures a consistent and predictable process for both the tutoring company and its clients, facilitating smooth financial transactions and continuous access to educational services.

Late Payments

A 10% late payment fee will be applied to your account for late payments. For example, if an authorised fee payment fails processing on the 22nd of the month, an additional 10% of the total payable fees will be automatically debited from your nominated account.
