Lessons are to start on time. GEC cannot refund or make-up lost time due to student’s late arrival or technical difficulties.

 

Small Group Classes:

Always inform your teacher if you will be late. Your Teacher may lock the class after 10 minutes, which means you will not be able to join if you are more than 10 minutes late.

 

 

While it is rare with a small group, if no students arrive within the first 5-10 minutes and the Teacher does not receive any notifications about late arrivals, your Teacher may close the class. This class will not be rescheduled.
