Amanda Ceglowski

Attendance and Absenteeism

Learners who miss lessons without excusing themselves, or who have not been excused by their parents/guardians, at least 24 hours beforehand, will be charged for those lessons. This condition will be waived in the case of sudden illness or an accident. If a learner is unable to make a given lesson, owing to a school or an extra-curricular commitment, and has excused himself/herself, the onus is on the parent/guardian/learner to make up that lesson at a time that suits both the teacher and the learner.

Should Amanda have to miss a lesson for a valid reason, another provision will be made to accommodate the learner/s in question at a mutually agreed time.

Payment Options

• Payment may be made per lesson on a cash basis, by arrangement.
• Payment may be made monthly in advance.
• Payment may be made at the beginning of any given term, in advance.

Please make your payment option clear on enrolment. Payment details will be provided accordingly.

Should a payment be two or more weeks overdue after the issuing of an invoice, future services will be withdrawn.

Notice Period

A term’s notice of the termination of tuition is required. This may be given to Amanda by email.

Behaviour

Discourteous or disruptive behaviour will not be tolerated. Any learner who does not behave acceptably on the premises will be asked to leave.

Information

Fee Structure (2026)

• Individual tuition: R500 per 45-minute lesson (R280 per half hour).
• Group tuition: R400 per 45-minute lesson per learner.

The individual fee will apply if a learner misses an individual lesson and has to join a group session to make it up. Likewise, should a learner miss a group lesson and have an individual lesson instead to make up his/her lesson, the R500 fee will apply. Amanda may require the additional payment before the end of any given term, should this happen.

Amanda Ceglowski reserves the right to amend the fee structure from time to time. A term’s notice of her intention to do so will be given to all parents/guardians.

Parent/Teacher Liaison

Amanda may be reached by telephone, email or at learner-support.com to discuss your child’s progress. You are also welcome to make an appointment to do so in person, and, in this event, a consultation fee of R900 per 45 minutes will be charged. Parents are encouraged to be an integral part of the process of learning and improving skills. As a qualified counsellor, Amanda is also available to counsel both learners and parents/guardians who would like to avail themselves of this service. A fee of R900 per hour will be charged.

Tuition Options

• Individual tuition: this option is available for learners who experience difficulties in a group context, or who require intensive intervention. The duration of the lesson depends on the age/competence/concentration levels of the learner. Extended lessons are only available if time permits.
• Group tuition: this option suits learners at a senior primary/senior school level who are working on the same syllabus or who have the same needs.
• Holiday tuition: this is sometimes available during the (September/October) vacation. It is especially necessary for those matriculation learners who require additional support.
