TERMS AND CONDITIONS
UPDATED: 05/08/08

You must read and agree to the terms and conditions below before scheduling an appointment, or asking to be placed on a waiting list.

I tutor in the Coral Gables/University of Miami area. Since most of the students I work with attend UM, I do not tutor when classes at UM are cancelled e.g., due to holidays or hurricanes. Most students meet me at the same time each week, but others see me as needed.

My hourly rate per student ranges from $25 to $70. I charge $70/hr for individual tutoring and a minimum of $25/hr/student for a study group. A study group consists of two or more students who may share the cost of tutoring. The hourly cost per student for a 2, 3, or 4 person group is $40, $30, and $25 respectively.

When 2 or more students are tutored together, the person who scheduled the appointment is solely responsible for payment.

Payment is due (cash only) at the conclusion of each appointment. Please contact me first if you are interested in prepaying for tutoring using PayPal.

Cancellations may only be made by email, voicemail, phone call, or in person; I do not accept cancellations by text messaging or by other forms of communication.

I have a 24 hour cancellation policy; as long as you give me a minimum of 24 hours notice (from the starting time of your appointment), I do not charge for the time, otherwise I do! I would appreciate more than 24 hours notice if possible. 24 hours means 24 hours, not anytime of the day before the appointment. If you do not provide sufficient notice, and wish to reschedule for a future date, you will then be responsible for paying for both appointments. Even if you drop the class, you remain responsible for providing adequate notice.

Only the person who scheduled the appointment may cancel it. In the event of repeated cancellations, or if you do not show up for appointments, even though you pay me for the times you have missed, I reserve the right to cancel or refuse any future appointments.

If you wish to cancel all regular weekly appointments you must clearly state that you wish to cancel ALL your regular weekly appointments for the rest of the semester. If you do not, I will only cancel your next appointment, and you will still be responsible for paying for future appointments.

If I am late you must wait no less then 10 minutes from the starting time of our appointment. I will wait for you no less than 15 minutes. If you wish me to wait longer, leave a message at the number below no later than 15 minutes after the starting time of your appointment. If you do not wait 10 minutes, or if you show up after 15 minutes without leaving a message as described above, you will be held responsible for full payment for the tutoring hour(s) which you have scheduled.

You may contact me at or (305) 279-7660. This number is my land line. If I give you my cell number, please use it only when absolutely necessary.
