Cookie policy.
The small files we use to keep the site working and to understand what's helpful — and how you stay in control.
1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files placed on your device when you visit a website. They help the site work properly, remember your preferences and give us anonymous insight into how the site is used. This policy explains which cookies we use and why.
2. The cookies we use
- Strictly necessary — these make the site function, such as remembering your session and keeping things secure. They can't be switched off.
- Preference — these remember choices you make, like a tutor you were viewing, so the site feels personal.
- Analytics — these help us understand, anonymously, which pages are useful so we can keep improving. They're only set with your consent.

4. Third-party cookies
Some features rely on trusted third parties — for example, our video-lesson platform during a class or an embedded map on our contact page. These providers may set their own cookies, governed by their own privacy policies.
5. Managing your cookies
You can accept or decline non-essential cookies when you first visit, and change your mind at any time. You can also manage or delete cookies through your browser settings — most browsers let you block cookies or alert you when one is set. Please note that turning off some cookies may affect how the site works.
To reset your preferences on this site, clear the cookies for this domain in your browser and reload the page — you'll be asked again.
