Tutoring Time Considerations


For tutoring over the phone/online or at the University of Memphis main library: For the first hour of each tutoring session $25 covers the 65 minutes starting from the time you scheduled your appointment with me. I will do my best to be there (by the phone for a phone/online appointment) on time. If I am more than 5 minutes late, you get an hour tutoring free. If you are late, I will wait until 30 minutes after you had scheduled your session to begin. After that I will leave to attempt to U.S. mail and/or email you to remind you missed the session.

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.
