Live Courses Tuition and Policies
I just wanted to say thank you so much for teaching me so well last year! You’ve prepared me really well for the intro to college writing class that I’ve been taking. I’m finding that a lot of the stuff I’m learning thus far into the semester was already thoroughly covered by you, and without your class I don’t know where I would be in my current one. So really just thank you so much for such an awesome past couple of years!

Tuition for Before Great Books Comes Groundwork: A Preparatory English Course

Billing policy:
Tuition for intensive courses must be paid in full within eight days of the invoice date.
Tuition for semester courses may be made in either one or two installments. If parents choose to pay in a single installment, the full tuition is due within eight days of the invoice date. If parents choose to pay in two installments, payment #1 is due within eight days of the invoice date. Payment #2 is due within 60 days of the invoice date. I will give a grace period of five business days for checks that are in the mail by the course start date.
I accept personal checks, cashier's checks, cash (if you are local), and Paypal ("goods and services"). Your invoice will provide payment instructions and due dates.
Drop Policy:
If you need to withdraw your student from the course, the following procedures will apply:
* The request needs to be made in writing.
* Refunds will only be given through week 1 of the summer intensives and week 2 of the semester courses.
* The registration fee is non-refundable.
* A drop fee equivalent to 10% of the tuition will be assessed.
* The refund will be given within 7 days of your request.
* Exceptions will be made if technical difficulties prevent your student from participating in a class more than twice. In that case, a pro-rated refund will be given at any time, and the drop fee will not be assessed.
Cancellation Policy
Summer Intensives: If your chosen class does not meet minimum enrollment by the Friday before class begins, I will close registration and provide full refunds of both the registration fee and tuition within 7 days. Alternatively, you may switch to a guided independent study with grading.
