Tutor/Client Agreement
PAYMENT
Payment must be made prior to each session or maybe paid in advance by the month.
Payment of 10$ per half hour and 20$ per hour is required unless other wise agreed upon. (25$ for requested subject per hour)
CANCELLATION AND REFUND
The Student may cancel a prepaid session up to one hour before the scheduled time for reasons of a family emergency or sickness and which will allow any pre‐payment to a future session. Lessons not attended for any other reason by the student without giving 48 hours prior notice to the Tutor shall be charged at the full rate. If the Tutor cancels a session for any reason and at any time prior to the start of the session, the Tutor agrees to refund the Student any pre‐payment for that session or to apply that payment to a future session that the Tutor and Student agree upon.
LATE ARRIVAL AND CHANGE OF SCHEDULE Fees are calculated according to the scheduled time agreed upon by the Tutor and Student. No adjustment to fees shall be made for time lost because of late arrival by the Student or by early termination of session by the Student.
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. The Tutor agrees to wait fifteen minutes from the time of the scheduled session for the Student's arrival before considering that session canceled without sufficient prior notice and therefore subject to the terms set forth in the CANCELLATION AND REFUND policy OBLIGATIONS OF THE TUTOR
