    Hi

    Really glad this has come up as I am dealing with a refund myself. I actually enforced a £5 deduction fee to cover admin costs (as I even had to go out and POST the vouchers would you believe!!!!!) which was cheeky as I hadn’t mentioned it in the T’s & C’s (which I will now do!) but the guy accepted it nonetheless. But perhaps this isn’t enough. Me and Georgia (my PA) have been wondering what to do in this situation. Either an 85% refund or no refund at all after a certain amount of time… not sure!

    Also, Matthew, even if we take voucher payment fully and upfront, do you only take commission once the lesson is had, as obviously it starts showing up on spreadsheets and invoices? I probably already know this to be a yes, as this is what I’ve been doing…!

  • Oh my god 50 hours.. that’s what’s doing it!! I only do 19 hours of teaching!

  • Literally the exact same problem as you, word for word!

    I find getting vocal training myself is always useful. Getting another professionals perspective!

    Hi Andy,

    I saw this too – it seemed to be doing the rounds with singing teachers on Facebook! I think it’s completely spot on! What do you think?

    Yes that was hard – I actually messed up on the rhythm of one of the technical exercises and felt like a total idiot for not realising they were quavers (as you can pre-prepare these for God’s sake!!) but somehow managed to scrape a distinction so I was pretty pleased. Was ill on the day too! Which they don’t care about by the way.
