Lessons

​
Cancellations & Make-ups
​
Lessons canceled by parents / students may not be reimbursed.​
However, make-up lessons are allowed:
​
-
in the event of sickness or tragedy, if Stevi is notified the day of absence.
-
for any reasons, if Stevi is notified 24 hours before absence.
Late-notice cancellations and no-shows cannot be made up.​
​
A make-up lesson must be requested. If a make-up is missed for any reason, the lesson is forfeited. Make-ups must be completed within three months of the absence.​ If Stevi is unable to teach, she will choose to schedule a make-up or issue reimbursement.​
