Use the website only for lawful purposes.

Respect the intellectual property rights of DT Teach+.

Avoid attempting to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorised access to our website.

We reserve the right to restrict access where the website is being used unlawfully or in breach of these terms.

The student's current academic level

Challenges in Design Technology

GCSE or A-Level examination preparation

Potential tutoring options and learning recommendations

Discovery calls are provided without an obligation to purchase tutoring services.

Submitting a booking request does not guarantee a particular appointment slot until the booking is confirmed.

If you need to cancel or reschedule, please notify us as soon as reasonably possible using the relevant booking link or contact information.

4. Tutoring Services

Tutoring services are designed to provide educational guidance, academic support, and structured learning assistance.

The specific details of tutoring arrangements, including session duration, frequency, delivery format, fees, and any included resources, will be agreed upon before paid services begin.

Students are expected to:

Attend scheduled sessions on time.

Participate actively in lessons.

Complete agreed practice exercises where applicable.

Communicate respectfully with tutors.

Follow reasonable instructions intended to support learning.

DT Teach+ may recommend additional study or practice between sessions to help students make progress.

5. Students Under 18

Students under 18 should have a parent or legal guardian involved in entering into paid tutoring arrangements.

Parents or guardians are responsible for providing appropriate booking information, agreeing to applicable fees, and supporting reasonable communication regarding the student's tutoring arrangements.

DT Teach+ aims to maintain a professional, respectful, and appropriate learning environment.

Any safeguarding concerns will be handled in accordance with applicable safeguarding obligations and procedures.

6. Payments and Pricing

Where paid tutoring services are offered, the applicable prices and payment arrangements will be communicated before purchase.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing:

Customers must pay the agreed fees according to the payment schedule provided.

Payments must be made using an accepted payment method.

Any recurring payment arrangement must be clearly disclosed and agreed to in advance.

Changes to fees will not be applied retrospectively to services already purchased.

Additional tutoring sessions or services may carry additional charges, which will be disclosed before booking.

DT Teach+ will not charge for a free discovery call.

7. Cancellations, Rescheduling and Refunds

We understand that schedules can change.

For paid tutoring sessions, the applicable cancellation and rescheduling arrangements will be provided and agreed to before purchase.

These arrangements will not affect your statutory consumer rights.

For qualifying distance contracts, consumers generally have a 14-day statutory cancellation period beginning after the contract is entered into, subject to applicable legal exceptions and rules.

If you expressly request that a paid service starts during the statutory cancellation period, you may be required to pay a proportionate amount for services already provided if you subsequently cancel, where the applicable legal requirements have been met.

If a service is fully performed during that period with the required prior express request and acknowledgement, the statutory cancellation right may end.

Different statutory rules may apply to digital educational content supplied immediately.

Nothing in these terms removes or restricts cancellation or refund rights provided by law.

8. Educational Results and Grade Expectations

DT Teach+ aims to help students build confidence, develop their understanding of Design Technology, and prepare effectively for examinations.

However, academic outcomes depend on several factors, including:

The student's existing knowledge

Attendance and participation

Independent study and revision

Completion of practice work

Examination requirements

Individual learning needs

Performance during assessments

We do not guarantee any specific examination grade, grade improvement, or academic result.

Any reference to A or A* grades, academic progress, or student success reflects educational objectives or individual experiences rather than a guarantee of future performance.

Unless otherwise stated, original tutoring materials and website content provided by DT Teach+ remain the property of DT Teach+ or the relevant rights holders.

This may include:

10. Academic Integrity

Our tutoring services are designed to support genuine learning and independent academic achievement.

Students remain responsible for their own coursework, assignments, assessments, and examination submissions.

DT Teach+ does not provide services intended to facilitate cheating, plagiarism, or the misrepresentation of another person's work as a student's own.

A suitable internet connection

A compatible device

Appropriate learning materials

Students and parents are responsible for providing suitable access to the required equipment and internet service unless otherwise agreed.

If technical problems prevent a tutoring session from taking place, we will discuss an appropriate resolution, subject to the agreed service terms and applicable consumer rights.

Our website may feature feedback from students or parents describing their personal experiences.

Testimonials represent individual opinions and experiences.

Results and outcomes may vary between students.

We will obtain appropriate permission or rely on another valid legal basis before publishing identifiable student information, photographs, or testimonials.

Video conferencing

Payments

Email communications

Educational content delivery

We may also link to third-party educational resources.

External platforms may operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

DT Teach+ is not responsible for third-party content or services outside our reasonable control, although this does not limit responsibilities imposed on us by law.

15. Limitation of Liability

Nothing in these Terms & Conditions excludes or limits liability where doing so would be unlawful, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any statutory consumer rights that cannot legally be excluded.

Subject to those protections, DT Teach+ is not responsible for academic results that depend on individual performance, independent study, or examination decisions outside our control.

We are also not responsible for losses caused solely by circumstances outside our reasonable control, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

16. Changes to Our Services or These Terms

We may update our website, educational content, and these Terms & Conditions from time to time.
