Cancelation Policy
Cancelations with 24+ hours notice have two options, you can either reschedule the lesson, or I won't charge for the missed lesson.
​
Cancelations the day of and no-shows will result in no chance for a make-up lesson and you will be charged.
​
If you are sick and still able to function we will continue with our usual lesson, it will just be over Zoom or FaceTime.
​
If you have an emergency on the day of the lesson, I won't charge you.
​
Cancelations on my end with 24+ hours' notice will be the same as if you cancel with notice.
​
Cancelations on my end the day of will result in you having a free lesson credit.
​
I will allow a few no-shows/day of cancelations per student but if it becomes excessive, you will lose your lesson slot to someone who will use it.
​
How Much are Lessons?
Lessons are $40 for a half hour and $65 for an hour. Lessons are typically weekly, although I can do a small group of lessons or bimonthly.
​
Where are Lessons?
I teach lessons online and in person at my private residence in Austin, TX. I've been teaching online lessons and have been taking online lessons for a few years and they have proven to be successful.
For in-person and online lessons, I will give students plenty of material to work with for the week including but not limited to videos, tabs, charts, and diagrams.
