2. Services

Pedram Language Academy provides English language tutoring services, including but not limited to:

  • One-on-one English tutoring sessions (everyday English, CELPIP, and IELTS preparation).
  • Group English classes.
  • Digital study materials, worksheets, and mock tests.
  • Podcast content and blog articles for English learners.

3. Booking and Scheduling

  • Sessions are booked through our scheduling system (Calendly) and are subject to tutor availability.
  • All sessions are conducted online via Google Meet.
  • You are responsible for ensuring you have a stable internet connection and a working microphone and camera for video sessions.
  • Session times are displayed in Pacific Time (PT) unless otherwise noted.

4. Payment Terms

  • All prices are listed in Canadian Dollars (CAD).
  • Payment is required before a session can be scheduled, unless a free trial session is offered.
  • Session packages do not expire.
  • We currently accept Interac e-Transfer and other payment methods as indicated during booking.

5. Cancellation and Rescheduling

  • By the student: Sessions may be cancelled or rescheduled free of charge up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time. Cancellations within 24 hours may forfeit the session.
  • By the tutor: If Pedram Language Academy needs to cancel a session, you will be offered a full rescheduling at no additional cost.
  • No-shows: If you do not attend a session within 15 minutes of the scheduled start time without prior notice, the session will be considered forfeited.

6. Refund Policy

  • Individual sessions: Refunds are available if cancellation is made at least 24 hours before the session.
  • Session packages: Unused sessions within a package may be refunded on a pro-rata basis. Contact us to request a refund.
  • Digital products: Due to the nature of digital downloads, all sales of study materials, worksheets, and mock tests are final. No refunds will be issued for digital products once delivered.
  • Free trial sessions: No payment is required, so no refund applies.

We reserve the right to terminate services to any student who violates these conduct guidelines.

9. Limitation of Liability
