  2. If you need to cancel your appointment, please do so at least 12 hours in advance or your appointment will be considered a no-show.
    • Please arrive on time. If you arrive late, the tutor will only work with you for the time remaining in your original time slot. For example, if you arrive at 2:10 for a 2:00 appointment, your tutor will work with you until 2:50 and no later.

    • If you cancel your appointment at least 12 hours before, you may reschedule your appointment with no penalty.
  3. Your tutor has the right to end the tutoring session early if you are unprepared or otherwise incapable of being tutored. This is ultimately at the discretion of the tutor.
  4. If you would like to request a change in location (e.g. move a Zoom appointment to in-person, or vice versa), you must do so at least one hour prior to the appointment.
