• How are fees paid?

  For students in Trinidad and Tobago, fees can be paid via online banking (transfer), direct deposit into FCB bank, credit card (VISA) and drop off if you are from South Trinidad. For students in the Caribbean, fees can be paid via credit card (VISA) .

• Do you charge per session or month?
  The fees are based on four (4) two hour sessions per month. There are some months where there will be five (5) sessions. The fifth session is referred to as a Reserve day. Reserve days are to be used in the event that there is some issue in a particular month (e.g. power outage or Internet disruption).

  The fees for that month is the same as an entire month. All live classes are recorded, so the student has access to the previous recordings and all the class notes.

• When are fees due?

  All fees are due at the beginning of the month. Failure to do so by the second class will result in your account being locked and you will be unable to access the platform.

• Do you offer discounts if I sign up for multiple subjects?

  Based on the quality of the content provided and my level of teaching expertise in my classes my fees are far less than what is actually being offered. As such there are no discounts for multiple subjects
