Your child’s health and education is important to us, as is the health and safety of our other students. If your child is sick or not feeling well, please cancel the lesson as early as possible. You will not be charged a cancellation fee. If your child feels well enough for a lesson, but is still showing symptoms such as coughing, sneezing, or runny nose, contact us about the possibility of conducting the lesson online to prevent the illness from spreading to our tutors and potentially to other students.
-
Cancellations or rescheduling can be made by the student/parent with no fee up to 8 hours before the lesson. The request can be made via email, text, or phone. Cancellations or rescheduling made less than 8 hours before the scheduled lesson time will incur a $10 fee. This fee will not be charged in the case of an emergency or illness.
No-shows will be charged full price for the lesson. Lessons are treated as no-shows if the student does not arrive within 15 minutes of the scheduled start time, or if a cancellation is made after the lesson start time.
If Avasthi Tutoring cancels an appointment with less than 8 hours notice, a new lesson will be scheduled without penalty to the client, subject to availability.
