Rules
The essentials
Please read these before you register.
- Fees are due at the start of each month, before the first class.
- Monthly fees cover a fixed 4 classes.
- No replacement class or refund for missed classes, unless your child is unwell or there is a genuine emergency.
- Message us on WhatsApp before class time if your child cannot come.
- Classes start and end on time. Late arrival does not extend the slot.
- To stop, tell Teacher Shaf one week before. Fees already paid are not refunded.
- The trial fee is not refunded and does not guarantee a slot.
Payment
- Fees are due at the start of each month, before the first class. Pay by bank transfer or cash.
- Flexi Class students pay per class, before the class.
- Send the transfer screenshot to WhatsApp so we can confirm payment.
- If payment is not received before the first class of the month, the slot may be released to another student without further notice.
- Monthly fees cover a fixed 4 classes per month. In a month with a 5th Friday (Group Class) or a 5th time your Personal Class day falls, that extra class is not included.
- Group Class: Teacher Shaf tells parents in advance which Friday is skipped. Parents do not need to do anything.
- Personal Class: parents may pay extra to attend the 5th class instead of skipping it. Arrange this with Teacher Shaf beforehand.
Attendance
- There is no replacement class or refund for missed classes.
- Exceptions: your child is unwell, or a genuine emergency such as a sick parent or a death in the family. Other cases can be discussed with Teacher Shaf.
- Please tell us on WhatsApp before class time if your child cannot come.
- If Teacher Shaf cancels a class, it is replaced or refunded.
- Classes start and end on time. Late arrival does not extend the slot.
Health
- Keep your child at home if they have a fever, flu, or anything contagious.
- A medical certificate, clinic receipt, or some proof of illness is appreciated for an excused absence.
- Light food and drinks are recommended, especially for longer classes.
Personal class at home
- An adult (parent, guardian, or maid) must be at home during the class.
- Please prepare a quiet space for learning before the tutor arrives.
Holidays and school breaks
- Classes run as normal on public holidays, at the usual rate.
- Arrangements for Ramadan and Hari Raya Aidilfitri are discussed with parents.
- During long school holidays, there is no replacement class or refund for children who are away, including trips abroad.
- Your child may be absent, but the monthly fee still applies. It holds the slot.
Flexi Class
- Seats are limited: 5 flexi students per subject and up to 3 flexi students in any one class slot. When full, new parents join a waiting list.
- Tell Teacher Shaf at least one day before you attend. Bookings are taken in the order received.
- If a slot is full, Teacher Shaf offers the other slot for that subject on the same Friday.
- Attend at least once a month, per subject.
- Miss a full month in a subject and the seat goes to the next parent on the waiting list. Your name moves to the end of the list.
- A booking turned away because a slot was full still counts as attendance for that month.
- Permanent students always have priority for seats.
- Repeated no-shows after booking may mean the flexi place is released.
- Flexi students do not take a trial class, so parents must say at sign-up if their child has ADHD, autism, or any other condition or behaviour that may need extra attention or support. Parents are encouraged to talk to Teacher Shaf before enrolling.
- If a flexi student is later found too difficult to manage safely or fairly alongside other students, Teacher Shaf may end that flexi enrolment immediately, without prior notice.
Good to know
- The trial fee is not refunded and does not guarantee a slot.
- Class photos may be used for advertising. Message us on WhatsApp if you prefer your child not to be included.
- To stop classes, tell Teacher Shaf at least one week before. Fees already paid are not refunded.
