Assessment - If you are not a beginner, you will be assessed during the
first week of class. This assessment will then allow the instructor and
coordinator to choose materials that are level and language goal
appropriate. The assessment is informal; however, should you need a
formalized exam at the end of your course, you can speak with the testing
director, Ms. Eliana Preston. Formal testing services conducted by Ms.
Preston do incur additional fees, and she can provide this information
should you need this type of structured evaluation.

There are a few other things to keep in mind regarding course cost.

  • The material fee will be due with tuition. Additional materials can be
    purchased if necessary. Should any monies remain at the end of the course, they will be refunded to you by the method in which they were paid (e.g. cash for cash or check if the amount is less than $30.00; check for cash or check if the amount is over $30.00; or credit card for credit card). Unfortunately, we cannot mix payment/reimbursement methods, i.e. cash refund for credit card payment.
  • The first tuition payment is due at least 48 hours prior to the start
    date of the course.
  • Tuition is valid for a period of 1 (one) calendar year from the purchase
    date. Tuition not utilized within this period will be forfeited.
  • Tuition can be transferred to another individual or to another language.
    Additional material fees may be necessary for transferred tuition.
  • Our class cancellation policy is 24 hours' notice for Tue-Fri. Monday
    classes must be cancelled on the Friday preceding the Monday lesson (i.e. 72 hours in advance) as cancellations for Mondays are not accepted on Sat or Sun. Lessons cancelled less than 24 hours in advance are assessed the cancelled day's tuition. This penalty includes the start date if the final course confirmation has been received from you. Lessons cancelled more than 24 hours in advance are not assessed any penalty. You may cancel lessons at any time. You will receive more information about filing cancellations on your first day of class.
  • Should you find it necessary to cancel your course all together, a course cancellation fee of one week's tuition or the remaining tuition (whichever is less) will be assessed. Should any tuition funds remain after the cancellation fee has been assessed, these will be refunded to you as outlined in Item #1.
