*ONLINE REFERRAL/ SIGN UPS:
Students that found my lesson studio online and taking lessons at my home studio must request in person lessons (Google, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc) and will need to pay for the first set of lessons prior to receiving studio address directions as a part of my safety protocol. Please also provide a link to one of your social media accounts as a means of verifying your identity.
GOOGLE MEET/FACETIME STUDENTS:
Same rates and payment schedule as in-studio lessons. An extra lesson policy will be provided for online-only students regarding internet lesson protocol.
A $25 late fee will be applied if lesson payment is not received by the second week of classes.
FORMS OF PAYMENT:
I accept the following avenues for payment: PayPal, Visa/MasterCard/American Express. Cryptocurrency payments are also an option, please inquire if interested.
REFERRAL DISCOUNT PROGRAM:
Word of mouth has always been my keys to success as an instructor! For any client that you refer to me, I will offer a free lesson at the length of the student’s sign-up rate (30, 45, 60, 90 minutes) once they have signed up and paid for a month’s worth of lessons. The more people you refer, the more free lessons that you will get!
ATTENDANCE POLICY AND CANCELATIONS:
All missed lessons can be rescheduled with 24-hours advanced notice of cancelation. A 24 hour cancellation period is enforced to allow the opportunity to schedule make-up lessons. Failure to give a 24-hour notice can forfeit your lesson with no make-up lesson. If a student cancels, then make-ups are at my discretion. Once a make-up is scheduled, there is no make-up class for a missed make-up class. If I have to cancel a lesson, per your choice, a credit or a make-up will be offered
INCLEMENT WEATHER:
I do not base cancellations with public/private school cancellations during inclement weather conditions. Contact me if you have any concerns regarding weather conditions. Skype and FaceTime lessons are generally offered or a credit may be issued under inclement weather circumstances. You are also welcome to reschedule the lesson if interested.
Holidays & Breaks: Tuition rates are flexible only during the following school breaks and holidays: Fall, Spring, Summer break, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Memorial Day, Labor Day, Independence Day. Your lesson slot will be forfeit as well as any grandfathered tuition rate if you take more than 3 weeks off in a row during the summer.
COMMUNICATION:
Let's maintain contact regarding our schedules! Good communication and respect for my time is essential in making a commitment to a lesson time. Be clear about cancellations in order to maintain your place on my roster. When you set up your monthly payments, review your schedule for any conflicts and I will always do my best to reschedule those lessons in advance. The more notice you are able to give, the better!
CHANGES TO SCHEDULE:
You are responsible for your time slot until you give clear notice of your intent to stop. A 2-week advance notice of intent to stop lessons or change lesson times is required.
