FAQ

Everything you need to know, organised by topic.

Getting Started

What year levels and subjects does Sarai Academy tutor?

We tutor Years 1–12. For Years 11–12, we cover all HSC subjects, with particular specialty in English, Biology, Legal Studies, Studies of Religion, and Mathematics Standard.

Do you offer a free trial?

We don't run free trial sessions. Instead, every new student is covered by our Money-Back Guarantee on their first paid session — see the Guarantee section below.

How do I enrol my child?

Get in touch to discuss your child's needs and preferred time slot. Once confirmed, you'll receive our Welcome Package with everything you need to get started.

What teaching method do you use?

Sessions are built around the Sarai Blueprint — our structured approach to exam technique and content mastery, tailored to each subject and student.

Sessions & Scheduling

How long are sessions and how often do they run?

Sessions are one hour long. A weekly lesson at a consistent day and time is mandatory for all students, to keep progress steady and momentum consistent.

Can I change my regular time slot?

Yes — reach out and we'll find a suitable alternative based on current availability.

What happens during school holidays?

You can freeze your slot for the holidays. See the Cancellation & Holiday Freeze Policy in our Policies Handbook for full details.

Cancellations & Holiday Freeze

What if I need to cancel a session?

Cancellations with at least 24 hours' notice can be rescheduled within the same week, subject to availability. Cancellations with less notice, or no-shows, are charged in full.

What if my regular time is booked out while my slot is frozen?

Frozen slots are held on a best-efforts basis. If a new student specifically enquires for that time, we may offer it to them, but we'll always let you know in advance and find you the next available slot.

Can I guarantee my exact slot over the holidays?

Yes — simply continue your weekly session through the break to keep your exact time locked in.

Payment & Invoicing

How and when do I pay?

Invoices are issued fortnightly or monthly in advance and are due within 7 days. Payment can be made by bank transfer or the payment link provided.

What happens if payment is late?

We'll send a friendly reminder. If payment is more than 7 days overdue, upcoming sessions may be paused until the account is settled.

Will fees ever change without notice?

No — any fee change is communicated in writing at least 4 weeks in advance and never applies retroactively.

Refund & Money-Back Guarantee

What does the Money-Back Guarantee cover?

If you're not satisfied after your child's first paid session, we'll refund it in full, no questions asked.

How do I claim the guarantee?

Message or email us within 48 hours of the first session. Refunds are processed within 3–5 business days.

Does the guarantee apply to ongoing sessions or packages?

No — it applies to the first session only. Sessions beyond that follow the standard cancellation terms.

Still have a question?

Message us any time — we aim to respond within 24 hours and are always happy to help.
