Private Tuition

Note that: 

• Lessons must be at least 1 hour.
• The AFHK will treat every request with due diligence.
• We might not be able to answer all requests positively – time & place of the private tuition can affect our chances to find a tutor.
• You may need to purchase textbooks or materials at an additional cost, unless otherwise specified.
• A $100 Registration fee or valid AFHK membership fee is required upon enrollment. The Registration fee is valid for a period of 1 year and grants access to services for our students.

Conditions of purchase: 

• All private tuition purchase is valid for 6 months from the date of purchase.
• Once a teacher is confirmed, payment must be made at once. No lesson will be confirmed if payment is not received.

Cancellations and changes: 

• AFHK commits to find a teacher at requested schedule within the 5 working days from purchase. In case the student cancels the sale and requests a refund after AFHK has found a teacher, the client will be subject to a retention of 20% of the order.
• If prior notice is given before 24 hours, the lesson or lessons will be postponed to another day or hours, according to the availability of the centre and of the assigned tutor.
• Failure to notify AFHK of a lesson cancelation 24 hours before the scheduled lesson time will result in the full fee being charged for the lesson. All notification must be done FIRST BY WhatsApp on 53431885 (Wan Chai Centre), 92624013 (Jordan Centre), 46205239 (Shatin Centre). THEN BY E-MAIL sent to: privatetuition@afhongkong.org.
• Cancellations on behalf of minors must be made by their parent/s or guardian/s.
• For semi-private tuition shared amongst multiple students, no split of credit will be possible once the tuition has been organised and paid for. The Alliance Française will not be held responsible for students’ changes in work commitments or personal circumstances when one student cannot attend the group tuition.
• AFHK reserves the right to change teachers within a package in case of necessity.

Refunds and credit notes: 

• If a student arrive more than 15 minutes later after the scheduled start of the lesson, the tuition will not be extended and no refund will be given.
• Similarly, the Alliance Française de Hong Kong cannot be held responsible for any difficulties preventing a student to arrive on time for a lesson that are not directly within the control of the student e.g. changes in work or personal circumstances or if the traffic is bad or for minor climate issues.
• In case of T8, classes will be rescheduled accordingly with the teacher.
• In case serious illness or hospitalization, a credit or a refund may be granted upon presentation of a medical certificate (Administration fee applies) according to AFHK discretion. All applications for a Letter of credit or refund must be addressed to the private tuition coordinator: privatetuition@afhongkong.org
• Cancellation by the AFHK: In the event of the AFHK experiencing problems at the time of a scheduled lesson and we are unable to provide our regular services, we will arrange for another lesson at the earliest convenience for both student and tutor. Alternately, AFHK will charge accordingly and organise a Letter of credit for future lessons.

Disclaimer: 

AFHK makes every effort to ensure that course information provided is correct at all times. It reserves the right to change the location of private tuition sessions, fees and tutors when necessary. All attempts will be made to notify enrolled students of changes.
