Details

The more lessons you purchase at once the lower the price! However, an entire lesson package must be used up before postponing or canceling lessons altogether so that Amanda receives the rest of the payment from the package. Instructors on Superprof receive the first 50% at time of purchase and the rest after the last lesson of the package is finished. Students on Amanda's lesson roster are billed according to their format (30-minute or 60-minute weekly or flexible scheduling) and do not have weeks that we skip so they may stay on the roster. Should a student need to take a break for a vacation, focus on other activities, life events, or have a bit more time to practice before getting back onto the roster, the student is required to give 1-week's notice so that Amanda can culminate the lesson website notes and activities and cease billing for the week of vacation or extended discontinuation. When lesson packages run out, the timeslot opens up until a new purchase is made. Students will be reminded when their lesson package runs out in order to keep their ongoing schedule (weekly) or to be notified of lesson openings for flexible scheduling students. It is extremely rare when Amanda needs to cancel a lesson without notice. However, she is human! If she cancels a live webcam lesson with more than 24 hours notice, she will either reschedule for another day/time the same week or will not charge for that week with no asynchronous materials posted. However, if she cancels with less than 24 hours notice, she will not charge for that week AND will provide asynchronous materials for that week at no charge. For the weeks that Amanda will be on vacation, she will give at least 1-week's notice (she likes to give 2-4 weeks) and not charge students for that week. She will not provide asynchronous materials or live webcam lessons for any student during her vacation weeks but is happy to answer questions about music or future scheduling during that time. Generally, Amanda tries to take vacation times around major US holidays (since most students will want to be free to enjoy their own breaks) and transitional times (like New Year's, summer vacation, and back to school).
