Private Tutoring - Scheduling

Tutor availability depends on specific tutor and their current schedule. During the last week of each month, we reach out to confirm availability and finalize the schedule for the following month.
At the end of each month, we coordinate with families to confirm the tutoring schedule for the upcoming month. This confirmed schedule is then used to generate the monthly invoice.
Yes, changes are possible depending on tutor availability. Permanent schedule changes must be requested before the monthly schedule is finalized.
Yes, sessions can be rescheduled with at least 24 hours' notice.
A minimum of 24 hours' notice is required. Requests made with less notice are considered same-day cancellations.
Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours' notice are still charged, as the tutor has already reserved that time.
