FAQs
-
Due to preparation for lessons and travel time; I will need to know 24 hours before via email (walexis843@gmail.com) that we need to reschedule a lesson or cancel it for that week. No matter the circumstances, the class cannot be made-up or refunded if there is no communication 24 hours before.
-
There is no fee for ending lessons. If there is payment that is owed still from the month from taking lessons, that will need to be paid in full or legal action can and will be taken. If I must cancel a lesson due to sickness, life events, etc., I will be sending an email letting you know that I will not be available 24-48 hours before the scheduled lesson. I will provide rescheduled days to choose from based on our signed agreement (on the form) and schedule for makeup days provided on the "Get to know Me" page. If there is no way to reschedule the lesson, it will be deducted from the bill.
Ex: If you paid $226 for the month of lessons and I must cancel, the amount of that time that week will be refunded to you. If it is in advance (a month out), the amount for that lesson will be deducted.
-
I encourage all my students to take time away from the daily grind and take some time to themselves. However, I will still need to be notified if the vacation runs past the day of our scheduled lessons. We can then reschedule the time for that lesson.
-
My limit of ages I will work with is 10 and up (with the exception that a student younger than 10 has the maturity to handle a longer lesson). Each parent must fill in a sign-up sheet with their child. Parents are welcome to sit in on the first few lessons, but it is highly encouraged for the parents to let their child have their independence to learn.
-
Billing can be taken care of as you schedule. If you need to pay in cash I only accept EXACT CHANGE. If cash is your preferred payment, please pay by your last lesson at the end of the month. If you have special circumstances, please reach out via email or through the Contact page.
-
Please be aware of emails. That is where all communication about rescheduled lessons and direct communication will be through.
-
Please notify me if there is sickness in the home. These lessons are automatic rescheduled lessons.
