He or she can attend a make-up class, again subject to availability. There will be no refund or pro-rating of fees for missed lessons.
How are students’ progress tracked?
The pace of improvements differs from student to student. Students should take the initiative to request for more guidance should they find themselves still struggling.

Do lessons follow the MOE syllabus?
Lessons are designed to complement it and thus follows it closely to ensure that whatever students learn will be useful for the examinations set by schools/Cambridge.
