LOGISTICS OF OUR PARTNERSHIP Communication Logistics: I’m based in Seattle, WA. You may contact me at different times through my email, sherlenlangsolution@gmail.com. LENGTH OF OUR STUDIES Our recommendations about the time that you need to study are estimates. Your success depends on many factors (your trust in me, your memory, your motivation, your energy level, your stamina, how much time you can study, and even how you are feeling). I can’t guarantee or promise you anything now because I don’t know you well. Your progress also depends on your skills and current language level. CANCELLATION POLICY If you cancel a lesson with at least 24 hours notice, you will receive credit for a future lesson. If you cancel a lesson with less than 24 hours notice, you will not receive a refund. If you do not show up for your lesson, you will not receive a refund. Rescheduling If you provide at least 24 hours notice of your desire to reschedule your lesson, you can change the time of your lesson without penalty if I am available at another time. Last-minute schedule changes are subject to availability. All the missed lessons need to be rescheduled within the same month. I can add only two rescheduled lessons to the end of the package. LATENESS POLICY I will continue to be available for 15 minutes after the scheduled start time of your lesson. When you arrive, we will continue the lesson for the remaining time of the lesson. If you arrive 10 minutes late for a 1-hour lesson, this means that you will have a 50-minute lesson. Sick Days or Unexpected Circumstances Very rarely, I may need to reschedule a class at the last minute due to illness. I may also need to reschedule due to unexpected circumstances such as power outages, problems with the internet connection, or even natural disasters. If this happens, you will receive credit for a future lesson.
