In Bristol we teach 33 lessons per year – this is an average of 3/4 per month and you can see the exact dates of your school calender when you log into My HarpsCool.
As there are 38 to 40 weeks in a school year we have plenty in hand if anything goes wrong, and of course you don’t pay for a lesson if we are unable to deliver it.
George is an independent HarpsCool Licensee so he deals with all payments, lessons and admin at his schools and they receive 30 lessons per year. You can contact George on [email protected]
