Referral Drive (Pilot)

Trial period: February – April

Referral rewards applied to April to June invoices

Help us welcome like-minded families into our learning community and receive a thank-you on your fees when they stay.

Our centre has grown almost entirely through word-of-mouth: families telling other families about a learning environment that feels supportive and genuinely child-centred. This term, we’re trialling a short-term referral drive to gently welcome more like-minded families into our community, while thanking our long-standing families for the trust and care they show in recommending us. This pilot is time-limited, carefully managed and designed to support steady, long-term growth without changing the way we work.

Pilot timeframe (important)

This referral drive is a short-term pilot and will run until April 30th, 2026.

This means:

• Referrals made in February to April qualify

• Referral rewards will be applied to April and/or May, June invoices, once conditions are met

• No new referrals will be accepted after April 30th. We will then review and decide if referral rewards can continue during the remaining summer term (May-July).

At a glance

• New families: 10% off first month OR £25 (whichever is greater), max £50

• Referring families: 10% off fees per successful referral, after 2 paid months

• Limits:

  • Up to 3 successful referrals in February, March or April

  • Maximum 30% discount per invoice

• Applies to: Home Education Support & Tuition sessions (does not apply to STEAM workshops)

• Tuition requirement: Referrer must be enrolled for minimum 2 hours per week

How it works (with dates)

1) Refer a family (February – April)

Request your personal referral code and share it with a family you genuinely believe would benefit from our centre.

2) New family enrols

Your referred family enrols using your referral code and begins attending.

3) New family welcome discount (Month 1)

They receive: 10% off their first month OR £25 off (whichever is greater, max £50)

4) Referral completes 2 paid months

Once the referred family completes two full paid months, your referral becomes “successful”.

5) Your fee discount is applied (April, May or June)

You receive 10% off your fees for each successful referral, applied to one invoice, subject to the monthly cap.

Help us Grow Thoughtfully: How to Refer

If you know a family who would genuinely benefit from our supportive, small-group approach, we’d love your help spreading the word.

To refer a family, simply ask them to state your personal referral code when they enquire with us. If they submit an application form with us, please ask them to select ‘Word of Mouth’ under the query ‘Please select how you heard about TechBloq’ and type in your referral code in the box that appears.

We’ll confirm the referral with you before linking it, so everything stays clear and fair.

Referral rewards can’t be applied if a referral is mentioned after booking or payment.

Please ensure you read through our FAQs and terms and conditions sections below. Contact us if you have any further questions or need further explanations.

Ways you can support our centre

You don’t have to be a salesperson, simply being honest about your experience helps more than you realise.

Here are some easy ways to support us:

• Tell friends or family who are home educating about us

• Share our flyer or website link on your socials

• Mention us when someone asks about local tuition or home-ed support

• Comment on or reshare our posts if they resonate with you

If someone reaches out because of you, just let us know so we can link the referral correctly. Your voice carries far more weight than any advert ever could.
