Policy on Session Modifications & Last-Minute Changes

All requests for session modifications must be made by telephone and at least 24 hours before the scheduled session time. These requests must be made by dialing (617) 851-0994. Clients requesting last-minute session modifications less than 24-hours short of a scheduled session will be electronically invoiced and required to pay the full amount of the originally scheduled session within one week. All late payments are subject to a 10% finance charge accruing every 7 days beyond the originally scheduled service date. Solely exempt from this policy are circumstances of personal emergency. Higher Degree Consulting, Inc. reserves the right to terminate relationships with clients failing to honor this corporate policy.

Session Modifications and Last-Minute Changes include, but are not restricted to, the following actions executed within 24 hours of the scheduled session time:

Experience has proven regular weekly sessions of 2-hour durations are most effective for improving performance through tutoring sessions and crafting a well-supported, high-impact written work and/or speech. Last-minute appointment changes can compromise both your own progress and your relationship with any business.
