ABOUT OUR PROGRAM

Picture
​

​All lessons are held at our studio at 1805 Markham Avenue. We have 7 private lesson rooms, each with a windowed door, sound-insulated walls, an exterior window for natural light, and all equipment necessary for a productive lesson.                                                                                          
​Our lesson studios are on the second floor, but we do have a downstairs classroom that meets all accessibility guidelines.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM OUR TEACHERS  

  • Preparedness: Having a well-constructed curriculum, a lesson plan for each student, and to be prepared for each individual lesson.
  • Timeliness: Starting each lesson promptly, staying on schedule for each student; not allowing late-comers to throw off everyone else who arrives on time.
  • Professionalism: Communicating with students, parents, and colleagues in a conscientious and respectful manner.

SCHOOL POLICIES & RATES

  • Students register for lessons on a month-by-month basis with the same amount for tuition every month.
  • Monthly tuition is based on the duration of the lesson (30 min., 45min. or 60 min.) and how many times the lesson occurs per week. The monthly tuition is $135 for a 30-minute lesson that meets once per week. 
  • A credit or debit card will be charged by the school on the first of each month for that month's lessons. 
  • Rescheduling a lesson is allowed 1 time per season (August-November, December-March, April-July) as long as 24 hours' notice or more is given. 
  • In the case of teacher absence, a make-up lesson at a mutually convenient time will be scheduled.
  • Two weeks' notice is required in order to discontinue lessons. ​
