Session policies

Questions about a lesson or a booking? Email mathwithdom@gmail.com.

Your sessions

Prices are per session, not prorated hourly rates. Approved travel charges are additional. After your free introduction, agree on a date and time with Dominic, then pay for that session through the Stripe link he sends before the lesson. Dominic confirms the appointment personally; a payment receipt alone does not reserve a time.

Your free introduction

One free online introduction is offered per new student, with a maximum of five introductions per week. Bring one focused question or topic. There is no payment requirement and no obligation to continue with paid tutoring.

Booking and cancellations

Appointments require at least 24 hours’ notice and can be booked up to 30 days ahead. Times are based on America/Chicago, with daylight-saving changes applied. Dominic confirms the appointment time and time zone with you.

Cancel at least 24 hours before an appointment for a full refund. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice are not refundable. Use your confirmation link when available or email Dominic for help, including changes within 24 hours.

First-session fit guarantee

If your first paid session is not the right fit, tell Dominic by the end of that session for a full refund of that session. You can tell him during the session or email by the session’s end. The guarantee covers the first paid session only and requires no additional purchase. Future bookings remain subject to the cancellation policy.

Simple, pay-per-session tutoring

Begin with a free 15-minute online introduction. If you choose to continue, Dominic arranges your 55-minute lessons personally and sends a secure Stripe payment link for each agreed session. No subscription, package, prepaid credit balance or automatic renewal is required.

A regular weekly time is strongly recommended for steady progress. Twice-weekly, weekly, every-two-week, monthly and as-needed meetings can be arranged. Each lesson is paid separately before it begins. There is no obligation to purchase future lessons.

Online sessions use Google Meet. Your meeting details come with Dominic’s appointment confirmation. Keep card details in Stripe’s checkout; never send them by email.

In-person arrangements

Online sessions are preferred. College of DuPage is the easiest in-person choice, subject to permission and space availability; a whiteboard is preferred. Home, library, and other locations must be reviewed individually. Travel is limited to locations reachable within 30 minutes of Dominic’s Burr Ridge starting point or 15 minutes of College of DuPage. Dominic confirms eligibility and the travel fee personally before you pay.

In-person sessions fit within the day’s online meeting window excluding its first and last hour. The entire session and necessary travel time must fit the schedule. Requesting a location does not reserve an appointment.

Booking for a child

A parent or guardian should make the booking using their own contact details and provide the student’s first name and grade or course. Sessions adapt to the learner’s pace and needs.
