GENERAL TUTORING SERVICE TERMS
- Ivy Tutor Test Prep Tutoring is a collaborative process between the Tutor and Student.
- Ivy Tutor employs a number of expert tutors. Ivy Tutor will endeavor to match the Student with the best fit. If parents request a replacement tutor, Ivy Tutor will provide a qualified replacement. There are a maximum of two such replacement requests.
- Tutors will be available via text or email for both the Student and their Parents for matters pertaining to Test Prep Instruction.
- Scheduling changes must be made via text through the scheduling line: (301) 392-7933.
- Ivy Tutor has a 24-hour cancellation policy.
- Each package offers a generous cancellation allowance. After the cancellation allowance is exhausted, cancellations will count toward a prepaid session.
- A confirmation text will be sent out between approximately 24 and 6 hours prior to the scheduled meeting. A parent or student confirmation is sufficient for a session to proceed. Failure to confirm a session will be assessed as a regular cancellation.
- Ivy Tutor understands that life is unpredictable. To ensure sufficient regularity, all packages must be used within a period equal to 1.5x the weeks of the sessions provided in the package. For example, a package with 12 sessions must be used within 18 weeks. To extend the package length, parents may request a tutoring pause of a predefined length.
- For late student arrivals, Ivy Tutor will attempt to provide the full session length of instruction. However, the session may have to end at the scheduled time if the tutor has a subsequent commitment.
- Ivy Tutor may provide score projections. These are not to be construed as promises or guarantees. While positive improvement is always observed, predicting the degree to which a student will improve is inexact.

- Parents may request meetings at an alternative location, provided that Student and Tutor have a quiet tutoring space free of distractions or interruptions.
- Cancellations that occur once the tutor is enroute and no-shows will count toward a prepaid lesson.
- Tutors will endeavor to arrive on time but may arrive up to 30 minutes late. Parents will receive a notification as early as is feasible of arrivals that project to be more than 30 minutes late. Parents may then request a replacement meeting.
