Question 9

What is the cancellation policy?

Accepted Answer

When you come to lessons with myself it is expected that you commit to all 40 lessons throughout the year however I do understand that life will get in the way of lessons occasionally. If you need to cancel a lesson for any reason please give me one weeks notice otherwise I still need to charge for the lesson time. If less notice is given for instance if you become unwell a few days before I will send you a short video lesson to work on that week instead. Very occasionally I will have to cancel a days teaching, if this happens I’ll refund you for the lesson.

Question 10

Does the studio have holidays or days off?

Accepted Answer
