​
Fission's Promise:
We will:
​
-
Provide tutoring services to the student using reasonable care and skill.
-
Ensure that the services provided are suitable to assist in developing the confidence and academic ability of the student.
Student Obligation:
We will do everything we can to assist the student, however, we also need cooperation from the student. Students enrolled in Fission Education agree to:
​
-
Attend all classes.
-
Provide details of the student's results/grades at school in the subject for which they are receiving tutoring.
-
Complete the provided classwork and homework to the best of the student's ability.

​
Trial Lessons:
A student is allowed to attend one trial class for each course offered for their grade free of charge. Trial lessons are not open to students who have previously enrolled in that course for that grade. Once the student has attended the trial lessons they must enrol in the course if they wish to continue attendance.
​
Satisfaction Guarantee:
While we try our best to provide tutoring for the student we understand that each student has different requirements and learning styles, hence Fission Education may not be the best fit for every student. If a student enrols in Fission Education and, acting reasonably, is dissatisfied with our service then the student may unenrol from tutoring and we will refund all future sessions not including any payment processing fees. The following conditions must have been satisfied:
​
-
the student attends and actively participates in all scheduled classes.
-
the student completes all work assigned in class and as homework.
-
provides evidence of grades before enrollment at Fission Education and during the student's attendance of Fission Education.
​
Missed Class Policy:
If the student is to miss a class rescheduling the class is subject to tutor availability. Reasonable efforts shall be made to accommodate the availability of students when rescheduling 1-on-1 classes. However, no refund or credit shall be provided if a student is to miss a group class. The learning material and notes provided during the missed class will be available for the student after the lesson.
​
If it is not possible to reschedule a missed class no refund shall be provided for that class.
Usage of Fission Education Teaching Materials:
The learning material provided is the property of Fission Education. Students are permitted to use said materials during their enrollment at Fission Education. A student may continue to use any physical materials provided during their enrollment for their personal use. Each student agrees that the material provided shall not be copied or distributed to third parties under any circumstance.
Publication of Results:
The student agrees that Fission Education may publish the academic results of the student. This includes but is not limited to; improvement a Student demonstrates over the period they are taught at Fission Education, or their results achieved in state-standardised tests such as the NAPLAN, HSC and ATAR results.
​
Only the student's first and last name, as well as the result, shall be published. No other information shall be used without the student's consent (i.e. photographs).
Payment:
Payment shall be made no later than the immediate completion of the agreed upon lessons. Payment may also be made in advance for multiple lessons. If payments are delayed beyond the completion of the agreed upon lesson Fission Education holds the right to cease the agreed upon tutoring service until the payment has been made, or terminate the agreement entirely.
Rescheduling and Cancellation of 1-on-1 Tutoring Classes:
You may cancel a 1-on-1 tutoring session no less than 48 hours before the scheduled sessions.
​
If payment has already been made for a cancelled lesson it can be carried forward to next week's lessons. However, if the student consistently misses lessons Fission Education holds the right to cease providing tutoring services to the student. This is as we believe that inconsistent effort does not yield results and is not beneficial to the student while also taking up time slots from other students who may wish to attend Fission Education.
