Payment

Individual sessions are booked in one-hour increments. Payment is due within 72 hours of conclusion of the session. Packages must be paid in full before the first session using package hours. Payment is accepted via Venmo, Zelle, and PayPal, but other arrangements may be possible.

Longer sessions may be arranged in advance.

Cancellation Policy

Cancellations made 12–24 hours before a session are charged 50% of the session fee.

Cancellations made less than 12 hours before a session and no-shows are charged the full session fee.

If a student is more than 15 minutes late without contacting me, I will consider the session a no-show. I will text or email a reminder once the student is 10 minutes late.

I will not charge for a genuine emergency or sudden illness, but I expect this to occur only rarely. Repeated last-minute cancellations may be charged even when due to illness (for example, if a student cancels due to illness at the last minute two weeks in a row, I may charge for the second cancellation). I still ask for as much advance notice as possible.

If a student has a condition or disability that may lead to last-minute rescheduling or cancellations or may change what successful tutoring looks like, please discuss this with me in advance so we can establish a policy that works for both of us.
