We reserve the right to alter or amend these fees at any time. All prices displayed publicly on mylanguagelink.com are inclusive of all fees.
According to our policy, each student should have his/her own lesson package and the lessons of a package cannot be split between students.

As soon as the period of three months ends, the video recordings will be permanently deleted.
No one except the aforementioned parties is permitted to have access to the video recording. No other use except for ensuring the quality of sessions and student’s safety by uploading the video recordings at the Language Link website is permitted without parents’ written permission.
