GermanA1C2 Payment Terms & Conditions

Please read my payment terms & conditions before you decide to take regular lesson. Once you make your first payment, I assume you have read everything and consent.

My prices, payment terms & conditions are up to date for 2026.

Price & Payment Terms

Hourly Rate

I charge a flat-rate of €19.50 per hour.

You only pay for the time I spend teaching you, regardless of what you choose to work on during your lesson. There are no additional charges for different subjects.

Invoices and Payment

I will send you an invoice by email. Please make your payment within 12 hours of receiving the invoice.

If you are located in Europe, you can make a bank transfer from a European bank account directly to my German bank account. This payment method is free of charge for you.

If you are located outside Europe, you can pay your invoice securely via PayPal.

Lesson Materials

All lesson materials are included in the hourly price.

You may save the materials to your own device for your personal use and future reference.

There will also be no fees for any additional materials I think might be helpful for your learning progress.

My Conditions

No Long-Term Commitment

Have the freedom to built your class schedule around your other commitments at home. You only need to decide:

  • How many lesson hours a week would you like to take?

  • On which days can you do your lessons?

  • What times works best for you on those days?

However, you can change your weekly schedule anytime. If needed, you may pause your lessons as long as it is necessary without loosing your schedule.

The only condition I have is that you always pay at least 4 lesson hours in advance.

Every time we complete all the lessons you paid for, you have the option to either quit or continue on and pay the next 4 lesson hours in advance.

You don’t have to enter into a long-term commitment.

Cancelled Lessons

You may cancel or pause your lessons anytime.

If you need to cancel a lesson or take a break, you will not be charged for lessons you do not take.

Instead, I will wait to request your next payment until you have completed all the lessons covered by your previous payment.

If You Need Less Than Four Lesson Hours

If you belief you need less than four lesson hours to work on a specific German-related issue, please include this in your message when you contact me.

Ask for a free consultation online so we can discuss what you would like to do.

After the consultation, we’ll schedule each lesson individually. And of course, you only pay the lesson hours in advance you actually want.

Please note: I usually don’t offer a free trial lesson to someone who only requests a couple of lessons. Instead, I will use the consultation to show you how my lessons work. If you decide you want to work with me, we’ll determine what materials I need to prepare for you.

12-Hour Cancellation Policy

I have a 12-hour cancellation policy.

If you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson, I ask you to let me know as soon as possible but no later than 12 hours before the scheduled start time, please.

If you cancel at least 12 hours in advance, you will not be charged and you will not lose the lesson.

Late Cancellations and No-Shows

If you cancel less than 12 hours before the lesson starts or do not show up, I normally expect payment for the scheduled lesson, as this time has been reserved specifically for you and cannot usually be offered to another student.

Of course, unexpected situations can happen that are beyond anyone's control. If something unavoidable occurs, please let me know as soon as you can. In such circumstances, I will not charge you for the missed lesson. I only ask that situations like this remain rare.

If You Are Running Late

If you are going to be late, please send me a message before the lesson starts.

I will wait for you and, depending on my schedule, will try to add up to 10 minutes to the end of the lesson.

If I haven't heard from you, I will wait approximately 10 minutes after the scheduled start time. After that, I will leave the classroom and consider the lesson missed.

Please Keep in Touch

Communication is important. If something comes up, please let me know as soon as possible. You can always contact me via WhatsApp if you need to cancel, reschedule, or let me know that you are running late.
