PAYMENT

There are two options for lesson scheduling and payment: Monthly or Weekly.

1. The Monthly Option (only available for the school-year sessions)

  • This option reserves the same day and time on my schedule for weekly lessons.
    • Tuition for the school-year term is based on 35 weeks of lessons from Sept. 3 through May 31.
    • Tuition is divided into equal monthly payments, regardless of the number of lessons in each month.
    • Tuition will be prorated for any students starting mid-month.
    • Payment is due on the first of the month.
    • There may be an additional charge for travel.

Monthly Tuition:

30-minute lessons – $100

45-minute lessons – $150

60-minute lessons – $200

Make-up Lessons and Refunds for Monthly Lessons:

  • No refund will be given for any lesson missed by the student.
    • A make-up lesson may be offered within a week of the missed lesson, depending on the teacher’s availability, but this is not guaranteed. 
    • If the teacher misses a lesson, the student is entitled either to a credit equal to the per-lesson fees below, or to a make-up lesson.

30 minutes – $25

45 minutes – $37.50

60 minutes – $50

Stopping Monthly Lessons:

  • If a student decides to stop taking lessons, I require notice on or before the 15th of the current month.
    • If notice is given on or before the 15th of the current month, then a refund of any fees paid for the next month will be refunded.
    • If notice is not given on or before the 15th of the current month, then no refund will be given.
    • All unpaid fees must be paid prior to termination of lessons.

2. The Weekly Option (available for all Sessions)

  • This option does not ensure having the same day and time for lessons.
    • Lessons are scheduled week-to-week starting on Sunday or Monday according to my availability.
    • Weekly payments are made during or before the lesson time.
    • There may be an additional charge for travel.

Per-lesson Fees:

30 minutes – $25

45 minutes – $37.50

60 minutes – $50

Make-up Lessons and Refunds for Weekly Lessons:

If I am given notice of 24 hours or more about a lesson cancellation, a refund will be given if a fee was paid for the lesson. If less than 24 hours notice or no notice is given for a lesson cancellation, then a fee is owed.

If the teacher misses a lesson, the student is entitled to a refund of any fees paid for the lesson.

Stopping Weekly Lessons:

Just let me know 24 hours or more before the next lesson, and you’ll be set.
