At Zenith, we believe that education should remain affordable and accessible to any student that is driven and motivated to succeed. We aim to provide the maximum value at the lowest cost.

Educators at Zenith wholeheartedly believe in the effectiveness of our group teaching in getting you that coveted A for your examinations. We do not provide 1-1 tuition, but often provide 1-1 consults to students FREE OF CHARGE especially nearing examination periods, subject to the tutor’s availability. Students can also arrange to see teachers before and after lessons for free consults.

Students unable to attend lessons for ANY reason will be allowed to attend a make-up session during the same week.

If students are still unable to make it for any lessons of the week, we will normally conduct all lessons during the holidays, which students can attend to make up for the missed lesson. Alternatively, as a last result, students can book our teachers for a consult to cover the missed lesson.

Students will be able to receive a refund of fees if they are unable to attend every lesson of the week (including make-up sessions) ONLY if they have a valid excuse (medical).
