I offer lessons Tuesday to Saturday 8am to 8pm. Lessons at other times are by special arrangement. I offer 1, 1.5 and 2-hour lessons, as this benefits students and myself in tuition time and length of working day respectively. I leave on average 30 minutes between each lesson to ensure I arrive on time, but on occasions I may be 5 to 10 minutes late due to traffic, any more than this and I will call or text you, providing I am able to legally, of course.

Anywhere within the areas agreed at time of booking. Should lessons start/finish outside of this area, the lesson time may have to be reduced slightly (5/10 mins) to allow for extra travelling time for me to get to my next appointment on time.

My lesson rates are dependent on your location, as due to rising fuel costs this will be priced accordingly, my rates are £38 to £42 per hour, pay as you go. There is a discount if ten hours of lessons are paid in advance, Prices are subject to change unless prepaid. If lessons are paid for in advance ie Block Lessons You will always know what your credit balance is if you prepay, as I keep accurate records. Any unused lessons not taken at the end of your course will be refunded back to you or the person financing the lessons as applicable. Pay as you go lessons must be paid in cash, bank transfer or cheque at the beginning of each lesson (with the correct change as I do not keep a float in the car). For Intensive courses, a non-refundable deposit of 50% of the total cost is required 14 days before commencement of the lessons, with the balance payable on the commencement date. Cheques should be made payable to ‘Stuart Edwards’ please. Any refund will be subject to an administrative charge deduction of £30 to cover my time in processing the refund and will be made by cheque or bank transfer.

Please keep cancellations to a minimum as they are very expensive and time consuming to myself and they will affect your progress. Except for intensive lessons, you must give a minimum of 48 hours verbal notice to cancel any lesson (including the first lesson) so that I can try and place the lesson with another student. Should you give less than 48 hours notice then I reserve the right to charge you for the cancelled lesson(s). Reasons which can still lead to a cancellation charge include illness (yours or your family), being unable to read a registration plate from 20.5m away, being unfit to drive (alcohol / lack of sleep) and your work commitments, other reasons are chargeable at a rate of 50% at my sole discretion. In addition, lessons will not start immediately should you have been woken up by my arrival. Any missed lessons will also need to be rebooked to avoid your progress being affected. Should I have to cancel/rearrange, I shall endeavor to give you the same 48 hours notice, but please note that i am are not financially liable for any loss. Lessons can still go ahead but if reduced in duration (e.g. you want 1.5 hours instead of 2), they are subject to the same 48 hour cancellation rule. For intensive courses, a refund of up to one half of the total cost of the lessons may be made where I am able to reallocate the hours to other pupils and thus mitigate my loss.
