Fee: My tutoring fee is $25 per hour and
is due before (for online students) or when the service
is rendered.
Deposit: At the end of the first tutoring
appointment (beginning of appointment for online students)
you pay me my fee. If you decide to have me continue
tutoring you that term or semester you also pay a $10
refundable deposit at the end of the session. If you are
not sure (and decline to pay the initial deposit) but decide
later you do want me to tutor you that term or
semester, then at the beginning of the second
tutoring appointment you pay my fee ($25 per hour)
and a $15 refundable deposit.
Appointment Cancellations: For each appointment
you make with me, if you need to cancel and let
me know at least 2 hours before the appointment,
there is no charge. If you let me know at least
1 hour (but less than 2 hours) before the appointment,
there is a $5 charge deducted from your deposit.
If you don't let me know at least 1 hour before
the appointment, there is a $10 charge deducted
from your deposit. Talking to me directly or
leaving a message in my voicemail or in my email
box suffices to let me know about a cancellation.
Replenishing Deposit Required: Suppose at any point
you have less than $10 of your deposit remaining.
Then I will need to receive sufficient funds from
you to restore your deposit to $10 before you can
schedule another appointment with me. I will need
to have actually received such funds. It will not
suffice that they are in the mail, etc.
Deposit Refund: At the end of the term or semester,
I will refund any part of your deposit that you have
remaining. It is your responsibility, however, to let me know where you
want your deposit sent. To get your deposit back, you need to let me
know within 90 days after the end of your semester or term where to send your
deposit.
I reply to emailed or texted math or statistics questions for free as soon as possible.
And, contrary to the to usual texting etiquette, I do NOT object to your texting me to say
you sent me an email.
