Terms of Service

Please read these terms of service carefully, and let me know if you have any questions. 

Registration

You will need to complete a registration form before class begins. This will provide me with the names of your learners and contact information. Your learner may not participate until this form is filled out.

Refund Policy

Refunds can be issued up to seven days after purchase. If I have to cancel the class for any reason, a full refund will be provided to you.

Rescheduling

I may have to cancel a meeting or tutoring session due to illness or a personal scheduling conflict. If that is the case, I will reschedule at a later date. If you cannot make that date, a recording will be made available to you. Make-up class meetings typically fall one week after the last class (same day and time), or during one of the scheduled off weeks. 

Zoom

Please make sure Zoom is updated prior to class, and check that your camera and microphone are functioning. I will not be able to help with technical issues once class begins. If you are having trouble, please note that every meeting will be recorded. 

Students should always have their cameras on throughout the duration of our time together. If anyone has trouble with this, please contact me directly. 

Students will be allowed to use the chat function at the discretion of the teacher. Another distraction is video settings. Learners should not be adjusting their video settings during class, and all learners should have the correct names displayed. 

Parents should not be on camera during class time. I’m more than happy to speak with you before or after class if you need anything!

Google Classroom

All assignments and communication will take place here. I highly recommend a parent or guardian have an account in the class as well. If you cannot do this, please check your child’s email associated with the classroom often. I will use it to send reminders and messages. Your learner will also receive feedback here that they will need to be successful on their next assignment. Looking at that feedback is essential to your child’s success.

Recordings

All meetings will be recorded. This will be used if you have an illness or vacation. It will only be available to you for one week after the meeting takes place. IEW® policy does not allow storage of recorded classes. They are to be used for special cases only.

Under no circumstance should recordings be shared with anyone outside of our class. 

Other Educational Resources

YouTube videos will sometimes be shared in the classroom. These can include helpful tutorials about grammar or formatting assignments, or they might be relevant to the topic of the lesson we are writing about. 

Google Forms and Quizlet will be used for quizzes and activities for concepts being learned in class as well as vocabulary. These are optional but highly recommended. 

It is up to the parent or guardian to be sure their learner is exhibiting best practices online. Please always be vigilant of your child’s time, and let me know if you need anything.
