FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I am licensed through the state of Washington. Due to Thumbtack's verification process, they are unable to verify my license, as they don't have a "Piano Teacher" category. However, there is a current photo of my business license posted under photos. My monthly tuition rates are based on 4-week months. If there is a 5-week month, we sometimes use the extra week for a make-up lesson. In addition, we take 2 of those 5-week months off the top and close the studio during Christmas week and New Year's week, as that is a family time for everyone.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like prospective clients to come to my studio to have a chat, so they can get their questions answered. However with the quarantine, I will do a video call. My desire is to share my program, so they can decide if it's a good fit. π
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I occasionally attend Piano Teacher Workshops in the Portland Metro Area. I also do online research to better stay acquainted with what is happening in my field.
