3 strike policy3 strike policyUnfortunately we have to use 3 strike policy. Why? In the past; some students made online reservations for tutoring and DID NOT SHOW UP :( This is unfair to others who NEED the tutoring.
After your 3rd strike; you will not be allowed to make online reservations. But instead you will have to show up and “stand-by” for available slot.
3 strike policy applies for no-shows and excessive online reservations.
