Frequently asked questions
1. What is the enrollment proccess?
Applications must be submitted through our online application form, after which we will confirm and contact you. The tuition fee includes access to the digital materials used during the lessons, the teacher-led class, and if the child is unable to attend, access to the online recording of the class led by the teacher.
In the case of our Brush Magic Club, the tuition fee includes access to the digital materials, the necessary tools for the activity, and postage costs.
2. What is the difference between monthly installments and lump sum payments with loyalty commitment?
There are three payment options: monthly installments, a discounted one-time payment with a six-month loyalty commitment, or a discounted one-time payment with an annual loyalty commitment. By choosing a loyalty-based payment option, your child can study with us at a discounted rate. We believe that effective learning requires perseverance: the six-month and annual loyalty commitments represent a dedication to growth, progress, the group, and fellow students, which most often leads to fantastic results!
3. How do these work in practice?
For monthly installment payments: our students pay the semester fee in 5 equal installments, by the 5th of each month (from September to January for the fall semester, and from February to June for the spring semester). The installments are always the same amount, so there's no need to calculate how many sessions fall in a given month due to school holidays or public holidays: regardless of the session days, every group receives the exact same number of sessions (16 double = 32 for the semester, 32 double = 64 for the school year).
For a one-time payment, the semester/year fee is transferred in full, so there will be no further payment obligations for the rest of the semester/year.
4. What discounts are available?
1. Loyalty commitment of one semester :
With a one-time payment, we offer a lower tuition fee of 175,000 HUF per semester.
This can be combined with the "Double" and "Triple" packages, as well as the sibling discount. In this case, we multiply the discounted monthly fee by 5.
2. Loyalty commitment for the whole academic year:
With a one-time payment, we offer a lower tuition fee of 340,000 HUF per school year.
This can be combined with the "Double" and "Triple" packages, as well as the sibling discount. In this case, we multiply the discounted monthly fee by 10.
3. Doubling package:
If a student participates in two out of the six sessions offered for their grade in the same semester, we offer a lower tuition fee. (35,000 HUF/month instead of 38,500 HUF/month)
4. Tripling package:
If a student participates in three out of the six sessions offered for their grade in the same semester, we offer a lower tuition fee. (33,000 HUF/month instead of 38,500 HUF/month)
5. Sibling discount:
If siblings apply (with the same payer), we offer a lower tuition fee. (35,000 HUF/month instead of 38,500 HUF/month) The discount applies if at least two siblings study simultaneously at Skillful Friends, regardless of the group or subject.
