Terms and Conditions
Overview
d. Our products and services are categorised into three main levels of support: low, moderate and high. Please use as a guide only.
Online lessons
1.1 Online lessons, Australia-wide and worldwide (for students living abroad), are conducted on Zoom. We do not conduct face-to-face lessons.
1.2 Students are expected to have an account with Zoom. A basic Zoom account is free. If a student has a paid Zoom account, they are responsible for paying for their own Zoom account.
1.3 Upon request, lessons can be video-recorded to watch afterwards. One-on-one tuition recorded videos will be available to watch for approximately one week.
1.4 The video recording is strictly to be used by the student (and parent) only.
One-on-one Tuition, Initial 20-minute Consultation
2.1 Individuals wanting one-on-one tuition must book and attend an initial twenty-minute consultation before the commencement of hourly coaching/tuition sessions. This includes an orientation of the subject matter, discussion about proposed planning and scope of learning, factoring in a student’s learning needs, goals, strengths and areas that require improvement. It is also an opportunity for students and parents to ask questions, in order to make an informed decision whether or not they would like to proceed with the commencement of hourly coaching and/or tuition sessions.
2.2 Students must complete, in a prompt manner, the short survey attached to the confirmation email prior to their one-on-one 20-minute consultation. The survey includes questions for the student to answer in regards to their learning history, learning needs and their availability for lessons. Students will then be allocated to a tutor based on their survey responses. The information provided in the short survey will be kept confidential and is to be used to help the tutor prepare for the consultation and regular, hourly sessions (of the student proceeds with hourly lessons after the consultation).
2.3 In preparation for the one-on-one 20-minute consultation, students must complete the short diagnostic test (for LANTITE students) or any other materials provided by the tutor prior to the consultation. Failure to do so will impact the effectiveness of the consultation and the ability for the tutor to be able to gauge the student’s current skill levels and areas that require improvement.
2.4 Tutors will email students or parents and suggest days and times suitable for the one-on-one 20-minute consultation and hourly lessons (if the student proceeds with hourly lessons after their 20-minute consultation). Tutors will do their best to accommodate students’ availability, as indicated in the short survey responses; however, it cannot be 100% guaranteed that the tutor’s availability will completely match the students’. Students are advised to have a reasonable level of flexibility with their availability, so that the student can proceed with a consultation and lessons with a tutor.
2.5 Students or parents are to respond to the tutor’s email within three days. If the student did not receive the tutor’s email in their inbox, they are to check their junk or spam box. We take no responsibility for students who don’t check their email boxes regularly nor carefully.
Failure to respond to the tutor’s email will result in the student being allocated to have a consultation with another tutor (subject to availability) or, will result in the student missing out on being booked in altogether (as tutors can book out quickly). Students will also forfeit their consultation fee if tutors have made reasonable efforts to organise a consultation but have been unsuccessful in receiving communication from the student or parent.
2.6 Students or parents must decide within one week, whether or not they would like to proceed with hourly lessons after their one-on-one 20-minute consultation, in order to not forfeit their spot with the tutor and as a courtesy to tutors who are often busy and who tend to book out quickly, with students on a waiting list.
2.7 If students would like to have a 20-minute consultation with another tutor before deciding which tutor to proceed with, students are required to make another 20-minute consultation payment via our website.
2.8 Students who have completed our LANTITE Group Tuition Online Course/s and would like further support through LANTITE One-on-one Tuition are exempt from purchasing a 20-minute consultation if they have completed the Literacy or Numeracy Course within the calendar year and are seeking one-on-one tuition support through the tutor who provided them with group tuition support. If students are seeking one-on-one tuition support outside of the calendar year, they will be required to purchase a 20-minute consultation, mainly because the group tuition tutor has not supported them recently and need to gauge their progress in a 20-minute consultation before an hourly session (or more) is purchased and booked. Group tuition students are encouraged to purchase a 20-minute consultation if they are not sure whether or not they need one-on-one tuition support and thus to discuss their learning needs before proceeding to purchase hourly sessions. Furthermore, group tuition tutors may request that group tuition students have a 20-minute consultation prior to commencing one-on-one tuition hourly sessions, should they deem this necessary, especially if the student requires a lot of further support.
2.9 Students who have completed our LANTITE Group Tuition Online Course/s, or, students who have previously sought LANTITE One-on-one Tuition Support and would like further support through LANTITE One-on-one Tuition must purchase either a 20-minute consultation (see point 2.8) or at least one hourly session. (Students are welcome to purchase a Package of more than one lesson, such as the Gold or Platinum Package.) This is so the student can be placed on the group tuition tutor’s waiting list, as often the group tuition tutor is in high demand and the student needs to demonstrate their commit to the one-on-one tuition program through the payment of one of these sessions.
2.10 If a student who completed a LANTITE Group Tuition Online Course would like LANTITE One-on-one Tuition support with a tutor who is a one-on-one tutor but not a group tuition tutor, must purchase and complete a 20-minute consultation prior to commencing hourly session.
2.11 For new students, bookings close for one-on-one tuition support four weeks or 28 days before the date of their test. This includes LANTITE, IELTS and and ISLPR Test students. This means that new students cannot commence one-on-one tuition support with us after bookings have closed. The main reasons for this are the following:
- Tutors need ample time to prepare students for their test.
- Tutors usually don’t have times available if bookings are made at the ‘last minute’, even if students only want a few hourly sessions.
- Students need time to practise and to show improvement in the skills taught in their lessons by completing homework and practice tests.
Returning or current students (i.e. students who have taken a break and have returned to tuition sessions, or, students who have completed group tuition support) may, to the tutor’s discretion, book lessons within 28 days of their test date.
If students have missed out on receiving one-on-one tuition support for their upcoming test, they are encouraged to do the following:
- Seek group tuition support.
- Purchase our study materials via our online shop.
- Defer their test, seek one-on-one or group tuition support and sit their test at a later date.
2.12 Students who are awaiting test results for LANTITE or ISLPR are not to book a initial 20-minute consultation nor hourly sessions with us. Students are to wait until their test results are released and pursue (or resume) one-on-one tuition support if they didn’t pass their test (or sections of their test).
Attendance to lessons and lesson times
3.1 It is recommended that students attend weekly, hourly lessons, in order to maximise their learning in their chosen subject and to receive adequate support from their coach or tutor. For students preparing for a test, such as the LANTITE or ISLPR Test, we highly recommend attending at least five weekly lessons, so that we can cover all topics, concepts and skills required for adequate preparation, monitor your improvement, provide thorough guidance and advise when you’re ready to sit your exam/s. We also recommend being an active participant by engaging in all class activities with your tutor and completing homework set.
3.2 Students are expected to attend their scheduled lesson reserved for them and be punctual. The coach/tutor often has students in a consecutive manner, therefore cannot run overtime if a student is late, nor give the student more time if they want to start their lesson early. Students are to be in the Zoom ‘waiting room’ at least a couple of minutes before the lesson commences, so that the tutor can confirm their attendance and then make a prompt start of their session.
3.3 Students who miss their scheduled lesson and do not give at least 48 hours’ notice will forfeit their payment and their lesson spot. A student on the cancellation list will be offered the vacant lesson spot.
3.4 If a student is ill and cancels their scheduled lesson with less than 48-hours’ notice, a medical certificate must be provided to their tutor, in order to avoid forfeiting their lesson payment. A make-up lesson may be arranged, subject to coach/tutors’ availability.
3.5 Students who miss two weeks of lessons (two occurrences or two consecutive weeks) with or without 48-hours’ notice, will forfeit their weekly lesson timeslot and be placed on the waiting list. Their timeslot will be allocated to a student on the waiting list. The student will need to find another timeslot that the tutor has available or the student will be allocated to another tutor who is available. Tutors are often preparing students for an exam within a short timeframe and would like to ensure that students who can commit to regular weekly or bi-weekly lessons can do so.
3.6 Students are to be familiar with the different timezones that are apparent in Australia. This includes students studying abroad (i.e. overseas). This includes when AEDT (Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time) is running between the months of October and April. Ultimately, it is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they attend their lesson at the time scheduled by their tutor.
3.7 Students may like to take a ‘break’ from lessons for an extended period of time and are to organise this with their tutor in advance. However, it cannot be guaranteed that the student’s lesson time will be available upon their return, due to commencing lessons with new students who wish to attend lessons regularly. It also cannot be guaranteed that the same tutor will be available and the student may be given to another tutor available. Students are to contact their coach or tutor with as much notice as possible when they would like to resume lessons so that the coach or tutor can organise suitable lesson times. Students are to take into consideration, when taking a break from lessons, when their lesson credit expires. Please refer to Section 5.12 for more information about lesson credit expiry dates.
3.8 Lesson times are based upon the availability of both the coach/tutor and the student (or parent if student is a dependent child) and are to occur within our opening hours. Please refer to our Google Business Page and Facebook Page for our opening hours. Lesson times that occur outside of these specified times are to the discretion of the coach or tutor and are to be organised in advance.
3.9 Tutors reserve the right to change the day/s and/or time/s of students’ session/s due to tutor unavailability, illness or emergency. The Director reserves the right to allocate students to another tutor due to tutor unavailability, illness or emergency. The Director will contact the students with as much notice as possible.
3.10 Students who do not communicate regularly with their tutor and/or do not make a reasonable effort to book in weekly lessons with their tutor and/or do not make themselves available within a reasonable timeframe each week and/or if they are not contactable via email or phone, forfeit their place with the tutor and are placed on the waiting list.
Expectations of students, parents and coaches/tutors:

4.1 Students are expected to conduct themselves in a pleasant manner and demonstrate a willingness to learn, complete homework set, strive for excellence in their subject and to be open to the expert advice, guidance and support of their tutor or coach. They are to be open to discuss how they are going in their lesson and at home with set work. They are to be open to feedback and be willing to ask questions and improve their skills.
4.2 We expect that students demonstrate the following qualities and habits:
- Being regularly contactable and communicative through a reliable email address;
- Attending regular tuition;
- Allowing a reasonable amount of time before they attempt their test/s;
- Completing homework;
- Upholding an effective study regime;

4.3 Students are to respect their tutor’s time and refrain from contacting tutors outside of their class time. If students need to contact a tutor to organise their lesson time, this should be done during their lesson. If a student needs to ask a quick question or enquire about the time of their lesson, this should be done via email. Students are not to expect tutors to respond to requests that take up a tutor’s unpaid time (outside of class time). This includes requests that are lengthy, unreasonable, outside of a tutor’s expertise or irrelevant to the tutor’s job as a tutor to the student. Students should contact their tutor during business hours and expect a response during business hours, in return.
4.4 Students are to attend at least five lessons, one hourly lesson per week, in preparation for an upcoming exam, so that tutors can cover all topics, concepts and skills required for adequate preparation, monitor a student’s improvement, provide thorough guidance and advise when the student ready to sit their exam/s.

If students need assistance with Zoom set up or use, they are welcome to contact us for assistance. If the set up process takes some time, the student or parent will be charged for the time taken to set up Zoom.
4.9 Student’s video camera must remain on at all times. Otherwise, the students will be asked to turn their video camera on and the lesson may be terminated if the student refuses to cooperate.
Parents and Guardians
4.10 Parents and guardians are expected to support their dependent child in their learning, by encouraging them to do their best, provide a safe and comfortable environment to complete homework tasks and communicate any information that may assist the coach/tutor as to how they are progressing at home or any additional support required in lessons.
4.11 Parents are welcome to ‘sit in’ on lessons and watch the coach/tutor and be informed as to what the student is learning.
4.12 Please refrain from taking phone calls whilst your child is having a lesson and please keep your phone on silent.

We offer cancelled lessons to other students who need a lesson, especially during peak exam periods. Students are to treat their lesson times with priority, so that they do not forfeit their payment when they cancel less than 48 hours before their scheduled lesson. Students are urged to ensure they are committed to the lessons (and the subject/exam overall) they want to book before making payments.

5.14 One-on-one tuition sessions purchased through our Bronze (initial 20-minute consultation), Silver (one to four lessons), Gold (five lessons) and Platinum Packages (ten lessons) are to be used for one subject area only. For example, if a student purchases the Gold Package for LANTITE Literacy tuition support, the lessons they have paid for are strictly to be used for LANTITE Literacy lessons only, not both LANTITE Literacy and Numeracy tuition.

There are a variety of payment options available, such as credit/debit card, PayPal, PayPal Pay in 4, AfterPay, Google Pay and Apple Pay.
5.17 Cash payment, cheques or money orders will not be accepted.
5.18 Online purchases of our products and services must include the student’s name, address and email address. If a family member is making the purchase for the student, the family member is to provide the student’s details on their behalf. This is important because we need to confirm the details of the student. We also need to be able to regularly contact the student via email and be able to provide the student access to online resources through secure Google Drive folders.
Lesson Bookings
5.16 Booking a consultation or lesson with a tutor or coach is to be made at least 48 hours before scheduled lessons.
5.17 Lesson bookings are to be organised directly with the coach or tutor.
5.18 Once the lesson has been booked, a Zoom Meeting Link (or Personal Meeting ID (PMI)) and passcode, will provided to students.
5.19 Waiting Lists are available with one-on-one tutors who are booked out. A 20-minute consultation payment (Bronze Package) must be made to be placed on a tutor’s Waiting List. The student will be contacted via email when a spot with the tutor becomes available. If a tutor that the student was initially allocated to becomes booked out prior to their 20-minute consultation, the student will be allocated to a tutor who are available.
5.20 If a student requests to change tutors, they must complete a ‘change of tutor’ survey and detail the reason for their request. It cannot be guaranteed that a tutor change can occur due to tutor unavailability (tutors are often booked out leading up to exam periods).
University Application Letter for Fourth and Fifth Attempts (for LANTITE Students)
6.1 If LANTITE students require a letter to be written by their tutor to their university, in order to apply for their fourth or fifth attempt, a letter will be written to your university after a period of at least three months or at least ten lessons of one-on-one tuition. Lessons need to be attended on a regular basis.
6.2 We strongly advise that students sit for their fourth or fifth attempt after at least three to six months of one-on-one tuition support and when their tutor says they are ready. Every attempt is crucial. This timeframe allows a thorough assessment, scoping and sequencing of learning goals, time for the student to implement and practise skills taught, time to show improvement and to be adequately prepared, maximising their chance of passing.
6.3 A letter will be written for pre-service teachers if at least ten lessons have been attended, improvement in their progress has been demonstrated and that the pre-service teachers are performing at a level the tutor deems is appropriate to be ready to resit the test. If a tutor deems that the pre-service teacher is demonstrating that they are ready to sit their final attempt prior to completing ten lessons or three months of tutoring, it is to the discretion of the tutor if they prepare a letter.
6.4 If group tuition students need a university letter written for their fourth or fifth attempt, they must complete the course in its entirety first. It’s up to the discretion of the group tuition tutor if the student is demonstrating that they are ready to sit their final attempt through the completion of course activities, homework and practice tests set. An hourly-lesson fee applies if the university letter is written.
6.5 University application letter writing, for fourth or fifth attempts for the LANTITE, is for students who are currently receiving one-on-one tuition support with a tutor, or students who have recently finished one-on-one tuition support with a tutor, or for students who are resuming regular lessons with their tutor after an unsuccessful exam attempt.
6.6 If pre-service teachers would like to have a letter written and they have had less than ten lessons of tuition support, the tutor may refuse to write a letter, mainly because the pre-service teacher may not be demonstrating that they are ready to resit the test.
6.7 Tutors have the right to refuse to write a letter if students do not attend ten lessons, are not showing improvement or are not performing at a level the tutor deems is appropriate to be ready to resit the test. This form of support is in addition to high-quality lessons we provide. Ultimately, it is up to the professional assessment of the tutor whether a letter is to be provided.
6.8 It is inappropriate to demand or simply expect tutors to write a letter of support because students are up to their final attempt.
6.9 Letters will not be written two months after a student’s last lesson.
Cessation of a session or sessions overall will occur if:
7.1 Disrespectful, manipulative, abusive, threatening behaviour or behaviour that is deemed unsafe towards the student, parent or tutor, is shown by the student or parent towards the tutor, the parent towards their own child, or a parent or student towards another parent or student (singular or plural). If the student or parents continues to make unreasonable requests of the tutor.
7.2 Students or parents sells for profit, shares with other people or replicates/reproduces in any way a student’s lesson video recording or Master Coaching and Tuition Pty. Ltd.’s copyrighted study materials provided to the student.
7.3 Students continue to cancel their lessons, with or without prior notice, or continue to miss their scheduled lesson times.
7.4 Students are not demonstrating a willingness to commit to lessons regularly and their learning overall.
7.5 Students are ongoingly disrespectful of their tutor’s time, expertise and policies (including our cancellation policy).
7.6 A parent or student is dissatisfied with their or their child’s result for a homework task, assignment, assessment or an exam and blames the coach or tutor for being the sole reason for this undesirable result. A reminder that our approach to learning is not performance-based nor should be based upon an undesirable exam result. As stated in our teaching philosophies, learning should be a journey, not a destination and not be based upon a graded or numerical result. Assessment or examination outcomes are the result of a combination of factors, not just the quality of the coach or tutor’s lessons. Other factors include the following: the attitude, effort and academic approach of the student towards their studies, both in the lesson and during their own study or practice regime, as well as the support of parent/s.
7.7 The tutor or coach deems the students’ needs are of a serious, complex or life-threatening nature, beyond the expertise that lessons offer. A medical doctor, counsellor, psychologist or psychiatrist will be recommended.
7.8 Lesson in credit will not be refunded if some or all of a lesson or lessons has been ceased, by the tutor, for any of the above reasons.
Group lessons
8.1 Students who have booked their place in a 4-week course block or live webinar cannot transfer their booking to another 4-week course block or live webinar (i.e. to a course or webinar running at a later date or time).
8.2 No refunds will be provided if a student cannot attend a lesson or if there is a ‘change of mind’.
8.3 All students, including absent students, will be emailed the materials of the lesson, as well as a Zoom video recording of the lesson, each week. The LANTITE Literacy and Numeracy Group Tuition Course includes Master Coaching and Tuition’s LANTITE Practice Exams.
8.4 Due to the LANTITE Group Tuition being a ‘guided’, supported course, the classes’ weekly materials will be released after each class or on a weekly basis. Please refer to the PDF Information sheet for more information.
8.5 Group lessons are conducted on Zoom. Participants are to demonstrate appropriate behaviour on Zoom, whether they are attending a live webinar, individual or group lesson.
