## Questions

### How do packages work?

A package is a set of prepaid 60-minute lessons, and a single lesson costs $150. Foundation 5 has 5 lessons for $700 ($140 a lesson, valid 120 days); Climb 10 has 10 lessons for $1,350 ($135 a lesson, valid 240 days); Intensive 25 has 25 lessons for $3,250 ($130 a lesson, valid 365 days); Season 40 has 40 lessons for $5,000 ($125 a lesson, valid 540 days). There is no subscription: you buy a package when you want one.

### How do I cancel or reschedule?

Cancel or reschedule any lesson up to 24 hours before it starts by replying to the email that set it up, and it stays on your package. Inside 24 hours, or if the student does not attend, the lesson counts as used. If George has to cancel, the lesson stays on your package and you pick the new time.

### How do lessons run?

Each lesson is 60 minutes, one-on-one, by video. George looks at your games and positions with you, explains the ideas behind them and sets homework for the week. The video link comes by email.

### What should I prepare for the first lesson?

If you have recent games, bring them: a link to online games or a scoresheet is enough. Add a few lines on what you want from lessons. If you have no games yet, the lesson starts from positions instead.

### What ages do you teach?

School-age players and adults. If the student is under 18, a parent or guardian books the lessons and receives the emails.
