Rates & Cancellation Policy

Pricing

Lessons are one-on-one and awesome! You get 100% of my focus, experience and energy. Lesson fees are:

Full-hour lesson: $65
Half-hour lesson: $35

Payment

Fees are due at the beginning of each month for all lessons. You will be emailed an invoice with details and payment options.  Payment is due before your first scheduled lesson of the month. 

If paying up-front for the month is financially challenging, please let me know. I'm flexible, and don't want anyone to miss out!

Cancellations

Weekly & bi-weekly students:

  • Lesson fees will not be refunded or credited upon cancellation.
  • If a lesson is cancelled with at least 24 hrs notice, a make-up credit (see below) will be issued which can be used on another day.
  • Failure to provide 24 hours notice prior to cancellation will result in forfeiture of your lesson fee.
  • A no-show/no-call will result in forfeiture of your lesson fee.

 

Drop-in students:

For students who have not yet reserved a regular spot on my schedule, or who drop in occasionally:

  • A minimum of 48 hours notice is required when canceling a lesson, so please, please be sure you can attend the lesson.
  • Failure to provide 48 hours notice prior to cancellation will result in forfeiture of your lesson fee.
  • A no-show/no-call will result in forfeiture of your lesson fee.

Make-up  Lessons

  • Make-up credits are issued automatically in the Student Portal if you cancel your lesson with a minimum 24 hrs notice.
  • Your make-up credits are valid for six months! Please use them before they expire.
  • You can schedule up to two make-up lessons in any calendar month.
  • There will be two regular make-up spots on my calendar each week, available to reserve from the Student Portal on a first come first served basis.
  • Additional make-up spots will likely appear during the week. Book ‘em while they’re hot.

IMPORTANT: Make-up credits cannot be applied to your next month's bill or be used to pay for a regularly scheduled lesson. You will need to find a different spot on the calendar to make up your lesson.

Vacation or Planned Absence

If you need to miss a lesson (or multiple lessons) for a vacation, business trip, or any other reason, the lesson is still billable, regardless of advance cancellation notice. No exceptions. This does not mean you lose your lesson fee! You will receive a make-up credit for any lesson cancelled with at least 24-hrs notice.

Teacher Cancellations & Vacations

In the event I have to cancel a lesson on you, your fee will be credited to the next month’s lessons or refunded. Your choice. And of course, you don’t pay for lessons during my scheduled vacations.
