Terms & Conditions

Noor Tutoring Last updated: 6 October 2026

About these terms

Thank you for choosing Noor Tutoring. These Terms & Conditions explain how our live online 11+ classes work, what you can expect from us and what we ask of you in return. By booking a trial class, starting a subscription or buying a resource, you confirm that you have read and accepted these terms.

Noor Tutoring is run by Fahmida Ismail as a sole trader. “We” and “us” means Noor Tutoring; “you” means the parent or guardian making the booking; “your child” means the student enrolled.

Before your child’s first class, we ask every family to complete and sign our Tutoring Agreement and Parental Consent Form. Those documents, together with our Privacy Policy, form your agreement with us. If anything here differs from your signed Tutoring Agreement, the Tutoring Agreement applies.

If anything is unclear, please get in touch through our Contact page before booking.

Our classes

We teach live, one-hour 11+ classes on Zoom in small groups of no more than six students, so every child receives genuine attention and lessons can be adapted to their level.

  • Subjects: English, Maths, Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning. Interview preparation is available on request.
  • Group sessions only: we do not currently offer one-to-one classes.
  • Grouping: classes are not fixed by ability. All students work on the same core skill, with the level of challenge tailored to each child.
  • Classes always run: once a class has started, it runs every week, even if only one child is enrolled.
  • Lessons are self-contained: each lesson targets a specific area. Topics revisit and build on each other over the year, so consistent attendance brings the most benefit.
  • Homework: set occasionally to reinforce learning, but never compulsory.
  • Timetable changes: we may change the timetable, move a group or reorder the curriculum where we reasonably need to, and will give you as much notice as we can.

Fees and subscriptions

Classes are paid for by a monthly subscription for each subject, which reserves your child’s weekly place. Current prices are shown on our website and confirmed at checkout before you pay. Fees include all classes, notes, materials and individual feedback. We are not VAT registered.

Option How it is charged
Trial class Once, when you book it
Subject subscription Monthly, for one subject with one class each week; paid in advance on the 1st of each month
Additional subjects Monthly, per extra subject; added at checkout or later, with no bundle discount
Joining mid-month A one-off payment for the classes left that month, at the per-class rate shown when you book

A flat monthly fee

The monthly fee is not a price per class. Depending on how the calendar falls, a month may have three, four or five classes, and the fee stays the same so your payments are simple and predictable.

Holidays

Half-term and school holidays are already built into the monthly fee and are not deducted.

December

Classes finish in early December and no payment is taken that month. Your next payment is on 1st January.

Joining mid-month

You can start at any time, subject to availability. You pay a one-off amount for each class left in that month, at the per-class rate shown when you book and your subscription starts on the 1st of the following month.

For example, if you join on 22nd September with one class left, you pay for that one class and your subscription starts on 1st October. If you join in the last month of a term, the one-off payment covers the rest of that term and your subscription starts when billing resumes for the next term.

One-month commitment

Preparing for the 11+ takes time and consistency, so a minimum one-month commitment is required. We are unable to accommodate occasional or pay-as-you-go attendance.

Unused classes cannot be carried over to another month, transferred to another student or used towards a resource.

Payment

Your subscription is taken automatically by card on the 1st of each month, in advance, and renews every month until you cancel. All payments are processed securely through Stripe.

  • Your place. Places are allocated in order of payment and are confirmed once payment has gone through. Access to the class link and materials follows from that point. If a group is full, you can join the waiting list free of charge.
  • Failed payments. If a payment fails, Stripe will retry automatically. If it is still unpaid seven days after the due date, we may pause your child’s place, including access to classes and materials, until the account is up to date. If payments repeatedly fail, the place may be offered to a student on the waiting list.
  • Card details. Please keep your card details up to date through the subscription portal; the link is also on your Stripe receipt.
  • Places are personal. A place belongs to the child named on your Tutoring Agreement and cannot be shared with, or passed to, a sibling or another child.

Trial classes

A trial is a single class for a new student, paid at the current trial price when you book, subject to availability in the group. It does not enrol your child in a subscription; you decide separately whether to continue. As places are limited, a subscription is the only way to guarantee your child’s weekly spot.

If you need to cancel a trial, let us know at least 48 hours before the start time and we will move it or refund you in full.

With less than 48 hours’ notice, or if your child does not attend, the trial is charged in full, as we usually cannot fill the place at short notice. We may waive this where something genuinely unavoidable has happened, so please let us know.

Cancelling and refunds

You can cancel your subscription at any time through the subscription portal. Enter the email you enrolled with and we will send you a login code. From the portal you can also update your payment method and download past receipts.

  • When cancellation takes effect. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the month you have already paid for, and your child can attend every remaining class in that month. We do not refund part-months, and there is no notice period beyond the month you are in.
  • Avoiding the next charge. To avoid being charged for the next month, please cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date.
  • Forgot to cancel? If you contact us within 24 hours of a renewal charge, you are eligible for a full refund of that renewal. After this 24-hour window, renewals are final and non-refundable.
  • Billing errors. If you believe you have been charged in error, or something exceptional has happened, please contact us and we will look into it promptly and fairly.

Your 14-day right to change your mind

Because you sign up online, you have 14 days from the day you sign up to cancel without giving a reason. Classes usually start within those 14 days.

By signing the Tutoring Agreement you ask us to start during that period, and you accept that if you then cancel within the 14 days we will charge a fair amount for classes your child has already attended and refund the rest. If your child has attended none, you receive a full refund.

To use this right, email us before the 14 days are up. Refunds are made to the card you paid with, within 14 days of you telling us.

If we end the agreement

We may end your child’s place by giving you one month’s notice, or straight away in the circumstances described under Conduct or Safeguarding below. If we end it early, we will refund the unused part of the month.

Missed, late and cancelled classes

Your monthly fee reserves a place in a small group rather than buying a set number of classes, so classes your child misses are not refunded, credited or rescheduled. This applies even if you tell us about an absence in advance.

We will always send the materials covered so your child can catch up before the next class.

  • Absences. If your child cannot attend, please let us know as early as possible, ideally a day before.
  • Lateness. We start on time to make the most of every minute. If you know your child will be late, please tell us before the lesson, as we cannot see or reply to messages once teaching. Your child is welcome to join as soon as they are ready, but classes finish at the scheduled time and missed time cannot be added on.
  • Classes we cancel. If we have to cancel a class, we will rearrange it at a time that suits the group, or take one class off your next payment if that is not practical.
  • Connection problems. If a class cannot go ahead because of a problem with your child’s device or internet connection, it counts as attended. If the problem is at our end, we will treat it as a class we cancelled.

Joining a class

Classes take place on Zoom, and worksheets, homework and lesson materials are shared through Google Classroom. Your child will need access to both, using a Google account you provide or approve. If anything needs printing, we will send it in advance.

  • Device and internet. Your child needs a laptop or tablet with a working camera and microphone, and a reliable internet connection. We are not responsible for your equipment or connection, or for content missed because of problems at your end.
  • One device per family, camera on. Each family joins from one device only, with the camera on throughout. Parents should not join from a second device to sit in. This helps us safeguard the group, avoids echo and distraction, and lets children build independence. You are welcome to be nearby, and we are always happy to give you an update after the lesson.
  • A suitable space. Please set your child up in a quiet, well-lit, communal or open space, not a bedroom or bathroom, with an appropriate background, and with paper, a pencil and any materials sent in advance ready before class.
  • A responsible adult at home. Because classes take place in your home, a responsible adult must be present and contactable for the whole of every class. Supervising your child during the class is your responsibility.
  • Keep links private. Zoom links and Google Classroom access are for your child only. Please keep the joining link within your household.

Conduct, recordings and materials

Conduct in class

We ask every child to arrive on time and ready, with their camera on, and to be courteous and kind to the tutor and others in the group.

If a child is disrupting the class, we may mute or remove them for that session. If it keeps happening after we have spoken with you, we may end the agreement and refund the unused part of the month.

Recordings

We make an audio recording and transcript of each class, used solely to prepare teaching notes and summaries. These are stored securely, never shared with other parents or third parties, and kept no longer than necessary in line with our Privacy Policy.

Recordings are not shared with absent students; instead we send the materials covered. Please make sure nobody in your household records, photographs, screenshots or streams any part of a class.

Our materials

Our worksheets, question banks, notes and mark schemes remain our property. You are welcome to use them with your own child, but please do not copy, sell, share them with other families or post them online.

Safeguarding

We hold a current Enhanced DBS check, renewed every year or kept current through the DBS Update Service, and are happy to show you a copy. We follow the Code of Practice published by The Tutors’ Association and hold professional indemnity insurance.

  • Every participant is admitted individually from a Zoom waiting room, and joining links are unique to each class.
  • All communication about your child comes to you. We will not message, email or call your child directly, or connect with them on social media.
  • If we are worried that a child is at risk of harm, we will normally talk to you first, but we may contact children’s social care or the police without your agreement.
  • Any safeguarding concern you wish to raise can be emailed to us and will be acknowledged within one working day.

Communication and feedback

You will receive a weekly email outlining what was covered in class. We will also be in touch to share big wins and any concerns about your child’s progress as they arise.

  • Reply times. We reply to messages between noon and 8pm, Monday to Thursday, and aim to respond within 24 hours. Messages sent outside these hours are picked up the next working day. As we are often teaching, we cannot reply straight away.
  • WhatsApp group. We may set up a parents’ WhatsApp group for announcements. Only the tutor posts there; to raise anything about your child, please message or email us privately.
  • How we contact you. We may contact you by phone, email, SMS or WhatsApp using the details on your Parental Consent Form, including at short notice about a class.

Digital resources, revision sessions and masterclasses

Downloadable resources

Resources bought as a download are available the moment payment is made. Because of this instant access, you agree when buying that you lose the right to cancel, and these purchases are non-refundable.

Where a resource is accessed by login, that access is personal to you. If we find an account shared between several users, we may close it without a refund.

Revision sessions and masterclasses

We occasionally run larger revision sessions at key points in the year. These are separate from weekly classes and may be recorded by the tutor, with the recording shared with everyone who booked to attend or to receive it.

Students join with microphones muted and cameras off, and can ask questions in the Zoom chat.

As the joining link is issued as soon as you book, a masterclass place is non-refundable once purchased.

Results, accuracy and your information

Results

We focus on building strong exam technique, confidence and problem-solving skills, and consistent attendance makes the biggest difference.

We cannot, however, guarantee any particular mark, grade or school offer. Outcomes depend on your child’s starting point, attendance and effort, and on decisions made by schools that are outside our control.

Accuracy of materials

We make every effort to keep our notes and resources accurate and up to date, but the occasional error cannot be ruled out. If something looks wrong or unclear, please let us know so we can put it right.

Your information

We are registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office and handle personal information in line with UK data protection law and our Privacy Policy.

Optional permissions, such as for testimonials, anonymised work samples and published results, are recorded on the Parental Consent Form, and you can withdraw any of them in writing at any time. You may also ask to see, correct or delete the information we hold about your child.

Complaints, changes and legal information

If something goes wrong

Please email us first. We will reply within one working day and aim to resolve things within five. If we cannot sort it out between us, we both agree to consider Alternative Dispute Resolution before going any further.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms or our fees by giving you at least one month’s written notice. If you would rather not accept a change, you can cancel before it takes effect.

Who may sign up

Our registrations, newsletter and free materials are for parents or guardians signing up on behalf of a child. By registering for anything on our site, you confirm that you are 18 or over.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales deal with any dispute. Nothing in these terms affects your legal rights as a consumer.
