Travel Writing - GRP 3

Service Description

Course description  Explorers and intrepid adventurers have been writing about their thrilling journeys and the people, cultures, traditions and foods that they encountered along those danger-filled routes for centuries. Now, it's your turn! During this travel writing unit, we will be exploring how to beautifully describe the sights, sounds, and sometimes strange smells which we happen upon during travel. Sensory descriptions, oxymorons, extended metaphors and impeccably chosen specific vocabulary all help us to do this, and that's what we will be learning about plus a whole lot more. I can't wait to go on this exciting expedition with you! Your child will leave this stimulating and engaging creative writing course feeling illuminated by the magic of the written word. Eight insightful lessons are spread over an eight-week period, leaving time each week to complete interesting homework tasks where students will have the opportunity to put what they have learnt into practice and show off their newly learnt skills. The intimate class setting of only four children maximum means that each child receives pro-active personal guidance from the tutor but also allows for spirited interaction between students. This combination creates a wonderful environment for comfortable creativity whilst ensuring that each student is fully supported throughout.  All learning will be consolidated with lesson feedback reports which outline the key features of the lesson, ensuring that the knowledge gained can be reviewed and revisited at the child's pleasure.  Places are strictly limited to four students to ensure class quality so book early to avoid disappointment.  I can't wait to get started, see you there!

Cancellation Policy

In order to cancel a lesson, please notify the tutor 24 hours before the lesson is due to begin. This gives the tutor a fair opportunity to fill your slot. The minimum requirement to cancel a session is 12 hours before the class is due to start. If a class is cancelled less than 6 hours before, the account may be charged for that class at the tutor’s discretion.  All cancellation and reschedule requests should be made by parents/guardians rather than by students (under 18) and sent via email (contact@mlukenglish.com) or WhatsApp (+44 7782554789). For lessons in which the student appears to be late, the tutor is obliged to wait for 15 minutes before leaving the meeting. If the student does not connect and if contact has not been made by the parents prior to the lesson or during the waiting time, the lesson will be classed as a ‘no show’ and automatically cancelled. The account may be charged at the tutor’s discretion.  When purchasing a package of lessons or a course, the client agrees to attend the scheduled lessons. Therefore, if three or more classes are cancelled consecutively, the account may be permanently terminated. In this case, a refund of 80% of the remaining fee for the package or course purchased will be issued to the client. The remaining 20% will be held by the tutor as an administration fee.  If the client purchases a package of lessons or a course but decides to terminate the course, an administration fee of 20% of the total cost will be charged. The outstanding balance will be refunded to the client. This does not affect your statutory rights.  Regarding group classes only, if a student is unable to attend a lesson, parents can request that the lesson be recorded and sent in order for the student to review. In these cases, the tutor should be notified six hours before the class is due to begin.  If the tutor needs to cancel a session, they should also aim for 24 hours with a minimum of 12 hours. In extreme cases, this may not be adhered to, but a make-up class should be offered to the student as soon as possible.  Some classes may be recorded for training and marketing purposes. By purchasing a service, the client agrees to the terms above.
