▬▬▬▬▬▬ Concessions ▬▬▬▬▬▬
For parents/families who feel their child would benefit from this course, but their budget does not allow for it, I do offer a number of discounts for families of lower-income. Please message me with the course, dates and times you are interested in to learn more about the discounts I might be able to offer.

▬▬▬▬▬▬ Minimum Student Levels ▬▬▬▬▬▬ 
Please be aware I try to teach all of my classes to at least 3 students as I feel it provides a better teaching and learning experience. If the minimum amount of students is not reached 24 hours before the start of the course, students will be transferred to the next available section at a similar time.
