1. The Enrolment

1.1 Registration

Enrolment begins when the Parent completes the registration form, provides all required information, and activates the account by completing the consent process. Bluepip Academy will review the registration and confirm enrolment by email.

1.2 Student Profile

The Parent is responsible for ensuring that all information in the Student’s profile is accurate and up to date, including:

  • The Student’s name, date of birth, and school grade
  • The Student’s country and timezone
  • The subjects selected and session schedule preferences
  • Any relevant learning needs, medical conditions, or special requirements that may affect teaching

Failure to disclose relevant information may affect the quality of the service provided.

1.3 Account Activation

The account will be activated after:

  1. All registration information is provided and verified
  2. The Parental Consent Form is completed with all required checkboxes
  3. The first payment invoice is issued (where applicable)

2. Sessions

2.1 Session Format

Tutoring sessions are delivered live via video conference through the Bluepip Academy platform. Sessions are:

  • Allocated by Bluepip Academy based on subject, teacher availability, and the Student’s preferred schedule
  • Conducted by a qualified teacher assigned to the Student by Bluepip Academy
  • Recorded for safeguarding, quality assurance, and review purposes
  • Typically 60 minutes in duration unless otherwise agreed in writing

2.2 Session Schedule

Once a weekly schedule is confirmed, it repeats each week until changed by agreement. Any changes to the session schedule must be requested through the Parent Dashboard and are subject to teacher availability.

2.3 Joining Sessions

The Student must:

  • Join the session from the Student Dashboard within the join window (typically 10 minutes before the scheduled start time)
  • Be ready on time with all required materials, a working camera, and a working microphone
  • Be in a suitable, quiet learning environment

The Parent is encouraged to ensure the Student is properly set up and ready for each session.

2.4 Student Absence

If the Student cannot attend a scheduled session:

  • 24+ hours’ notice: The Parent must notify Bluepip Academy via the Parent Dashboard or email at support@bluepipacademy.com as early as possible. We will attempt to reschedule where teacher availability allows.
  • Less than 24 hours’ notice or no notice: The session is counted as a student no-show. The session fee is non-refundable and the teacher will be compensated for the time.

Repeated no-shows (3 or more in a term without notice) may result in a review of the enrolment.

2.5 Teacher Absence

If a session is missed due to teacher absence, Bluepip Academy will:

  • Notify the Parent as soon as possible
  • Arrange a rescheduled session or, if rescheduling is not possible, credit the session to the Parent’s account
  • Apply appropriate conduct measures to the teacher as per our internal policies
