What you can expect me to charge
Terms of Business
This document sets out the terms and conditions for the services that I provide, and the costs involved.
Working with children and young people who have problems with dyslexia calls for a structured year-round programme that is tailored to the needs of each individual.
What I offer
- Bespoke learning for your child or young person.
- Working with parents and schools to understand the needs of the learner.
- Literacy skills – reading/writing/spelling/comprehension
- Task management – how to break tasks down into manageable steps
- Help to develop an understanding of dyslexia
- Confidence building
- Advice and information for schools
- Revision techniques
- Organisational skills
- Weekly feedback
What this looks like
- A weekly session in school for the learner
- Attendance at meetings when applicable
- Games, tasks and activities are planned individually for the learner, to help them move forward with their learning. This also enables them to access education independently and with confidence.
A year-round service
Because my services are structured to provide a holistic programme of help, the fees cover the entirety of the services provided, and not just the four one-to-one sessions each month. The charges for missed appointments are set out below.
Charges
I do not provide, or charge for, services during the month of August. There is a charge of £120 per month for the remaining eleven months of the year.
Payment is due within seven days of receipt of the invoice.
Cost breakdown
Across a year, I will provide 11 sets of a minimum of four sessions a month. This allows for four free weeks over Easter and Christmas.
Half-terms are charged for, as is child sickness. If the mentor is unwell, or unable to attend a session, invoices are adjusted accordingly.
There is no fee for my travel (except in exceptional circumstances). There are also no charges for planning or the resources and feedback that I provide. I will also attend meetings if required, subject to diary commitments.
I offer sessions during holiday time – apart from August. These are held in my home and are arranged by mutual agreement.
