Have questions before you sign up?
We've got answers
We’ll meet online! Skype, Google Meet or Zoom are used for a majority of online one-on-one students. Skype and Zoom can require a download and installation so Google Meet has served the less tech savvy students quite well, especially if you have familiarity with Google products!
We will never charge you for a lesson that’s cancelled due to technical difficulties.
If you have another service you prefer please let us know!
We generally teach between 10AM and 8PM Eastern. Lesson slots usually start on the hour and can sometimes go over if the conversation gets carried away. There are sometimes exceptions to the times lessons can be scheduled, so don’t be afraid to ask about a specific time if your schedule doesn’t line up perfectly with ours!
We teach on every weekday and some instructors even teach on weekends. We generally schedule less evening lessons on Thursday and Friday because that’s typically when we play live shows. Let’s stay away from canceling lessons and schedule later lessons earlier in the week!
If you have any special needs or concerns in these areas be sure to include them in the message box below. We will do our best to accommodate you!
Lessons are $60 for 45 minutes. For those interested in a single lesson, please let us know in the message box below!
We accept payment through the website.
In the rare circumstance that neither of these payment options work for you please be sure to mention it in the message box to the left and we can find another solution! (i.e. check, money order or any other possibility).
Depending on your schedule and teacher availability your wait will likely be 5 months or longer.
If you’d like to minimize your wait time consider when you’d be able to take lessons. We have a lot of students already waiting to take lessons at 6pm eastern or later. If you can take your lesson at 10am eastern or do a lunch time lesson at 1pm eastern, I guarantee you will be placed sooner!
Worst comes to worst you might be waiting a little longer but we do eventually get to everyone on the wait list.
