Pricing and Policies of Tutor Lessons

Cancellations on 1st Lesson

Students may only cancel 2 hours before the first lesson. If a student cancels the second lesson, we may give the time slot to another student. Please stick to the agreed upon, class dates, and keep these times sacred.

Cancellations After 1st Lesson

At TPS, we follow the same policy as testing centers and colleges. When you decide to book with us, you commit to 4 classes in advance. The class dates are an agreed-upon contract for both the tutor and student. These locked-in dates ensure time stability for you and the tutor. Other students cannot book the class times you have paid for in advance. Therefore, we accept NO CANCELLATIONS. If you fail to attend, the fee for that class is NON-REFUNDABLE. We allow no exceptions and consider no appeal.

Payment
Policy

Students must make payment immediately after the first lesson. At the start of the second lesson, the student must pay 4 classes in advance. The student will be issued a receipt and given a form that outlines TPS policies. Please be sure that you can commit to future lesson dates because cancellations are not credited.

Price of Lessons

Unless you've booked and paid for a 3 or 4-week program, your tutorial fees are calculated by your tutor's teaching time with you. The price for any test is $60/hr. Lessons normally run for no less than 2 hours. The fee for any extra students in a class is $15/student/hour.

After you agree to classes, you must attend them at least once a week. We will not schedule classes once every 2 weeks.

Lateness of Student or Tutor

We understand that sometimes you may be delayed coming back home or meeting your tutor at arranged class locations. Please contact the tutor and let him or her know of your progress. The tutor is not obligated to extend the class if you're late. Due to scheduling, in many cases, the tutor cannot add time. However, if the tutor is late, he or she must extend the class time as compensation, if you wish. If extending time is unworkable during that class, you can ask for an extension of a subsequent one.

Pre-test Assessment

You can request a tutor provides a pre-test at the start of a course, and you can ask for a post-test at the end. Tutors administer such tests and provide subsequent, exam analysis. The test price of such simulations is no different from the teaching rate (ie $60/hr). You must book any simulated test separately.
