Answer

You are paying for the instructor’s time not the lesson. If you can’t make your scheduled lesson regardless of circumstance, you have still paid for your instructor’s time. We know and understand that things come up and life happens so we will allow for one unexcused absence every quarter. Students may not carry over their unused “missed lesson allowance” into the new quarter. The 3-month cycles are January-March, April-June, July-september, October-December. All lesson cancellations must be done through your TeacherZone account. If your lesson is cancelled by the instructor your time will be rescheduled or you will be issued a credit toward the following month’s fee.

Answer

Please email us directly at [email protected] at least 10 days before the start of the month that you wish to cancel or you will be charged for that upcoming month. Lesson Policy

Answer

1. Please remember that you are paying for the instructor’s time not the lesson. If you can’t make your scheduled lesson you have still paid for your instructor’s time. We know and understand that things come up and life happens so we will allow for one unexcused absence every quarter regardless of advanced notice or reason for absence. Students may not carry over their unused “missed lesson allowance” into the new quarter. The 3-month cycles are January-March, April-June, July-september, October-December.

Answer

1. Select “Reports” from the menu on the left of the page; click “Attendance.”
2. In the pop up window, select the dates you are interested in viewing. If you are typing in the date, be sure to include the full year as the system defaults to “00” as the first two digits. Select “View report.”
3. The attendance summary will show how many potential lessons there were, as well as how many have been attended, canceled and not yet attended.
1. “Attended” lessons are those that have been completed.
2. “Teacher Cancelled” are lessons the teacher could not attend, or the school was not open for. Please note that we will either not charge for these lessons in advance, or credit them for the following month if the cancellation occurred after that month’s billing and a makeup lesson could not be scheduled.
3. “Student Cancelled” are lessons canceled with at least one week notice.
4. “Banked Lesson” is a lesson that was canceled with less than one week’s notice, but with 48 hours or more prior to the lesson. These will normally be given a few options for alternate lesson days or times depending on the circumstances of the teacher’s schedule. Students will be contacted if an alternate lesson day or time can is not available at the time of cancellation.
5. “Owed Lesson” is the same as a banked lesson, but has not yet been scheduled. Please note that these may revert to “no shows” if there are two or more opportunities to make up the lesson, but the student was unable to attend. Please be aware that we will make every effort to make up lessons that were missed without a one week notice, but cannot guarantee due to student volume and teacher schedules.
6. “Restored Lesson” is a lesson that was banked and has been made up. The originally banked lesson will sometimes not be in the same timeframe as the restored lesson. If you have a question about which lesson was banked and later restored, please email the LLH with the dates and we will do our best to send the details to you as soon as possible.
7. “No Show” means the lesson was canceled within 48 hours of the lesson. While there might be a make-up the student is still responsible to pay for this lesson. Please be aware that you will be contacted with potential makeup options if other students cancel. This does not indicate that you failed to contact us when you could not make your lesson.
8. Lessons with nothing listed next to them are scheduled, but have not recorded attendance yet. If you have a question about an upcoming lesson, contact us via email at [email protected].
