| CANCELLATION POLICY |
- If the teacher arrives at the home and the student is not there, the lesson must be paid for.
- Cancelled lessons must be called in to your teacher with 24 hour's notice to avoid charges for the lesson.
- If you cancel by noon the day of the lesson, the lesson must be paid for, but the teacher will make the lesson up.
- Teachers may cancel a lesson within 24 hours notice and in the case of duress a last minute cancellation is tolerated (s/he is stuck in traffic, etc.).
- If you wish to terminate lessons, please inform the school at least a week in advance.
