Policies

I charge the full lesson rate for same-day cancellations or no-shows. I DO NOT follow school schedules for holiday or weather closings, so please keep this in mind.

From September to May, I teach weekly lessons. If you are committed to weekly lessons, I will reserve a spot for you. Since I’m committing a time slot to you, I’m asking that you do the same for me.

If you can’t do weekly lessons: we can figure it out as we go, but please know that the time slot(s) I can offer might be different for every lesson. I don’t reserve weekly spots for students that are taking lessons every other week (or some variation of that)…but I will do my very best to find a spot for you each time you need one.

In the event that you are frequently canceling lessons, despite having a regular spot on my schedule: it is likely that I will no longer reserve that spot for you. I will ask you to schedule each lesson on a week to week basis or pay for the each month of lessons in advance.

Payment

I ask that you render payment on the day of the lesson. I accept cash, Venmo, Paypal, or personal check. In the event that I’m continually sending you reminders for lesson payments that are weeks late: going forward, it is likely that I will ask you to prepay for each month of lessons. Regarding the rare event of personal checks bouncing: I will ask you to cover the bank fee as well as the original check amount.

If any of the above needs further discussion, please contact me!
