Managing your account

Progress tracking

We've great online tools to help you monitor your progress as you learn. Following each lesson your tutor will assess your performance in line with the Common European Framework of References for Languages and provide valuable feedback to assist you in preparation for your next lesson. Continual assessment in each core language skill helps you to stay in touch, stay motivated and monitor your progress over time.

Rescheduling

If for any reason you can't make a scheduled language lesson you can quickly and easily change it free of charge to another suitable day or time.

Cancellation and refunds

A full refund will be made of any fee paid in advance for all lessons cancelled by the tutor. Should you be unable to attend a scheduled lesson you will be able to re schedule to an alternative time with your chosen tutor.

Our teachers do put a lot of time into preparing for your class, so we won't be able to refund you if you cancel your lesson. Lessons which are disrupted due to unforeseen circumstances or if your teacher does not attend the lesson will be eligible for a full refund providing we receive notification within 7 working days following the date of the lesson.
