Scam or Fraud?

Scam or Fraud?

I recently applied for a tutoring institution for my teen to get some tutoring. After after a few lessons, I find that it isn’t helping him. When I went and asked for a refund, they won’t provide a refund. I can’t find anywhere on their website that says no refund allowed. When I paid for the tuition in cash, they also never told me there is no refund allowed. I talked to the front desk and they said that I can get a refund but when I talked to the manager, she denied. I also emailed them, they replied saying a refund is allowed. I don’t know what to do. Is this scamming or fraud?
