ONLINE PRIVATE TUITION
1. Our private lesson length is either 45 or 90 minutes. It is possible to have other combinations of total lesson time such as 60 minutes or 135 minutes. Our students generally report 90-minute lessons being more optimal for learning compared to a 45-minute lesson as the material they learn can be more limited with a 45-minute lesson. It is possible to also take breaks for longer sessions, which we also recommend.
2. If you want to reschedule lessons, we need to receive 24 hours notice to inform your teacher on time. When the notice for cancellation is less than 24 hours, there is a full lesson fee charge as it does not give the teacher sufficient time to adjust their teaching schedule.
3. Once a booking is confirmed for a course, there is no refund available for an early cancellation before all lessons are complete. The exception to this is if SakuraJapan was responsible for making an administrative mistake that led to the early cancellation of a course.
4. You need to finish your booked lesson package by a certain length of time.
(30 lessons package: 12 months
20 lessons package: 8 months
10 lessons package: 4 months
1 lesson: 2 weeks)
There is no minimum time that you must spend on lessons. For example, 12 lessons can be taught in a short period of time such as 1 month.
5. We need to make a payment for a lesson you have booked at least two days before your booking.
6. You can reschedule a lesson if you give us 24 hours before notice but each lesson can be rescheduled only once.

ONLINE GROUP COURSES
1. Once a course you have booked starts, you will not be able to get a refund for an early cancellation before all lessons are complete.
