Communication Policy at We Live and We Learn
All tuition sessions and communication between students and tutors or the Institute and parents/ guardians will be regulated through the website, email and on the business WhatsApp in the English Home Language. The Operations Officer is responsible for regulating this communication and will notify the respective tutor should a student require further help or clarity on a matter outside of a booked session. Students or parents/ guardians will not be allowed to request the direct contact information of our educators or SME’s. Should there be a need to seek clarity on any matter, students or parents/ guardians must follow the procedure explained below:
The student can send an email or WhatsApp to our operations officer and the matter will be forwarded to the respective tutor. The tutor will resolve the matter and the relevant response will then be sent to the student by the operations officer.
A parent can only send through an email requesting feedback or inquiring on services as this needs to be on record for the purpose of protecting both parties. No WhatsApp inquiries will be entertained from parents/ guardians.
All confirmations of booking and payments will be done via the website and the official email from We Live and We Learn. Please note if a parent uses their personal email to register their child and as the primary contact for communication, especially in the case of a primary school student or a student that does not possess their own email address, then it is the responsibility of the parent/ guardian who’s email is listed to update the student when bookings are confirmed for a session and if any changes have been made to the schedule i.e. The group session which your student has booked is being moved to a different time slot because of capacity or being postponed due to connection issues or load shedding. The institute cannot be held liable if the student was not informed by a parent/ guardian timeously of the changes and the session which was booked cannot be reimbursed in cash or by moving the learner to another slot. The student will have to find another slot for the same topic or book a one on one session to make up for that topic.
These terms of use discussed above constitute for a legally binding Agreement between you, the student and the parent(s)/ guardian(s), whether personally or on behalf of an entity and We Live and We Learn (“company”, “we”, “us”, or “our”), concerning your access to and the use of the We Live and We Learn website as well as any other media form, media channel, mobile website or mobile application related, linked or otherwise connected thereto (collectively, the “site”).
