Terms & Agreements

For private or semi-private students of Rockford Tutors

Payment of Fees

A commitment for a full semester or for the remainder of the present semester (for late enrollees) is required to secure one’s tutoring slot. Tuition may be paid in full for the semester, or tuition will be due in equal monthly payments by the tenth of each month for that semester. Any monthly payment received after the tenth of the month will be charged a late fee of $10.

Tuitions may be paid by check, cash, Zelle, or electronic bankdraft. Checks may be mailed to Rockford Tutors at 1512 Hackberry Lane, Machesney Park, Illinois 61115.

Two sessions per week are required for students who request after school tutoring in order to better ensure progress in the chosen subject. Homeschool students may come one session per week provided the parent or guardian does mentoring and follow-up lessons at home.

A verifiable emergency (with less than 24-hour notice) will be made up at no additional charge. Client must call to notify the tutor of the emergency. These are verifiable emergencies:

• Sudden illness of the student or parent/guardian who chauffeurs § Transportation breakdown or accident

• Sudden hazardous weather

• Death in the immediate family

Lesson Cancellations

Please give at least twenty-four hours notice of your legitimate need to reschedule.

A “no-show” or a “same-day request to reschedule” for NON-EMERGENCIES will result in forfeiture of the prepaid tutoring fee. No refunds, credits, or free make-ups will be given.

In the event that your tutor must cancel a session, a make-up will be offered. Days will be scheduled into the semester’s calendar for make-up sessions.

Personal Vacation Days

Students who have been enrolled for the past three consecutive months qualify for one personal vacation day per tutoring semester. A forty-eight hours advance notice is required. (Tutoring semesters run January through May, June through August, and September through December.) Any additional tutoring sessions missed for personal vacation days must be paid for. This holds your child’s place on the roster.

If possible, schedule personal vacation days around your tutor’s posted break weeks.

Supplies and Books
Each student is required to purchase necessary books or supplies as specified for the course chosen. Check with your instructor for particulars prior to the beginning of the term.
