Cancellation Policy
Please carefully review our cancellation policy to understand the consequences if a student or a tutor misses a session. To avoid fees or penalties, please provide 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule a session.
CANCELLATION OF LESSONS BY CLIENT/STUDENT
The Client/Student may cancel tuition/lessons by giving at least 24 hours prior notice to the Tutor in which case no tuition fees will be incurred. Lessons not attended by the student without giving 24 hours prior notice to the Tutor shall be charged at the full rate.
All sessions are to be completed within a 30-day time-frame in accordance with the 1st-day sessions began. If sessions are canceled on the part of the client/student (within the 24-hour policy), a makeup session must be arranged within 7 days or those missed hours will be lost.
Fees are based upon the Student’s undertaking to attend all lessons as stipulated in the schedule above and no discount or refunds shall be given in respect of lessons not attended by the Student.
CANCELLATION OF LESSONS BY TUTOR
The Tutor may cancel lessons by giving 24 hours prior notice to the Client/Student in which case no fees shall be incurred. Where a lesson was pre-paid, the Tutor shall reschedule the appointment at a time agreeable to both parties, failing which the Client/Student shall be refunded with such a missed lesson fee.
All sessions are to be completed within a 30 day time-frame in accordance with the 1st day sessions began. If sessions are cancelled on the part of the tutor, a makeup session must be arranged within 7 days or those missed hours will be lost.
LATE ARRIVAL
Fees are calculated according to the times stipulated in the schedule and no adjustment shall be made for time lost because of late arrival by the Student. Students who arrive late will only be tutored for the remainder of the scheduled session. There will be no prolonged sessions.
Any lost time because of the late arrival of the Tutor shall be compensated for by extending a lesson by mutual agreement and by such amount of time that was lost.
NO-SHOW POLICY
Students who are not present at the pre-determined location when Tutor arrives or who are more than 15 minutes late are considered no-shows. If the student is a no-show, he or she is still responsible for payment for the tutoring session. No discount or refunds shall be given in respect of lessons not attended by the Student.
Pay-per-session clients must present payment for the session which he or she was a no-show and the following session in order for tutoring to continue.
MISSED SESSIONS
Because the nature of the tutoring sessions is to improve academic performance it is pertinent that the Student attends regularly and on time. If there are 3 or more cancellations, no-shows, or tardies in any 2 month time frame, the client will be charged a $35 Convenience Fee for each 2 month occurrence.
PET POLICY
If there are pets located in the designated tutoring location, please make sure that they are placed in an area so as not to disturb the tutoring sessions.
INCLEMENT WEATHER
In the event of inclement weather (snow, sleet, hail, flooding, tornado, hurricane, severe thunderstorm) we will leave it up to the discretion of the Client/Student and the Tutor as to whether or not a lesson will be held. All clients have the option to use online tutoring as an option in lieu of cancellation due to inclement weather. Please communicate with your tutor on lesson days when there is inclement weather. The Tutor shall reschedule the appointment at a time agreeable to both parties, should lessons be canceled due to inclement weather.
