Terms of Instruction

 

Lesson Rates
Lesson rates vary depending on the length of the lesson and on whether the lesson takes place in the student’s home or in the home of the instructor.  Note, there may be an additional fee if the instructor travels to your home for lessons, depending on distance.  This is a per-lesson fee which serves to compensate the instructor for additional time and travel costs. 

Billing and Payment Policy

Lessons are paid in advance, which guarantees your time slot. Your specific payment date will depend on the date that lessons commence with the instructor, and will include payment for the number of weekly lessons issued in the given month.  

Payments shall be made at the time of the first lesson of each month.  In order to reserve your time slot, full monthly payment must be made at this time.

Payment may be made via cash, check or money order.  I also can accept Visa, Mastercard or debit card. 

Attendance and Rescheduling Policy

Should the student be unable to attend a scheduled lesson, notification should be given to the instructor within 24 hours prior to the lesson time, if possible.  Every effort will be made to make-up lessons that are missed with appropriate notice given.  Lessons that are cancelled by by student with less than 24 hours notice will not be refunded, however a make-up lesson may be scheduled within 60 days of the missed lesson.  Students who consistently miss lessons may be subject to dismissal by the instructor.  

Should the instructor be unable to attend a scheduled lesson, the student shall be notified with at least 24 hours notice, and a make-up lesson shall be provided at the earliest possible opportunity.
