Please review our meeting schedule before enrollment. Due to my teaching schedule and other commitments,  I cannot reschedule missed lessons unless arrangements have been made beforehand. 
However, because life happens, if after enrollment your learner is unable to attend a meeting, I will offer a one time courtesy refund or make-up class (according to availability) for the missed lesson so long I am notified within 24 hours before start time.
Unless informed ahead of time, if a learner does not arrive within the first 10 minutes of class, the meeting will be canceled.
