• Lessons must be scheduled AT LEAST one day in advance. • Lessons will last approximately 30 minutes. • Lessons must be paid online; cash will not be accepted. • Students who need financial arrangements should speak to me in private. Your education is important to me, so we will find a way to make things work.

• Lessons cancelled less than 24 hours in advance or missed entirely will NOT be eligible for refund. Extreme circumstances and illness WILL be considered. • School exams and homework are NOT acceptable reasons for missing a lesson as prioritizing your obligations is an expected part of your education. • The instructor​ reserves the right to cancel any lesson with due notice. Students who do not receive notice within a reasonable amount of time will be refunded their lesson fee.

• Every student is expected to arrive approximately 15 minutes prior to their lesson time. They should be warmed up and ready to start exactly on time. • Every student is strongly recommended to have a journal with them to record lesson notes and competition observations/results. This journal will be reviewed by the coach on a regular basis and used to tailor the student's lessons. • Fencing is a dynamic and intensive sport, particularly sabre. Students are expected to maintain a reasonable fitness level in order to prevent injury and excel at their weapon. • It is a waste of the student's time and the coach's time if a student uses their lesson to practice their skills. Students are expected to practice their lesson skills outside of lesson times.

• Discontinue a lesson to a student who is disrespectful or belligerent. • Lesson time is precious. The instructor will decline to give a lesson to any student who is ten (10) minutes late, and that lesson's fee is forfeit. The lesson MAY be rescheduled if there is available time.
