Rates & Cancellation Policy
Pricing
Lessons are one-on-one and awesome! You get 100% of my focus, experience and energy. Lesson fees are:
Half-hour lesson: $30
Full-hour lesson: $60
Payment
Lesson fees are due at the beginning of each month for the total number of lessons you have scheduled. This enables me to reserve your time slot on my calendar for the entire month, and makes scheduling and bookkeeping much easier. You will receive an invoice via email with 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 & Make-ups
Lesson fees are like school tuition. You pay for your seat whether you show up or not, with the following exceptions...
A minimum of 24 hours notice is required when canceling a lesson. With fair notice, a make-up credit will be issued which you can use on another day. This way, you don’t simply lose your lesson fee.
IMPORTANT: A make-up credit cannot be used towards 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. Sometimes this occurs in the same week, sometimes it takes a little longer. Make-up credits expire after 6 months, so you should have plenty of time to use it.
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.
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.
Vacation or Planned Absence
Please provide at least 2 weeks notice if you’re going to miss a lesson(s) for a vacation or planned absence. You will not need to pay for the missed lesson(s). Though I try to accommodate everyone, if you’re going to miss more than 2 lessons in a single month, I can’t guarantee your time slot will be available when you return.
