APPOINTMENTS

  • Scheduled length of a standard appointment is 50-60 minutes.
  • Please arrive on time as appointments cannot be extended.
  • By scheduling an appointment you are agreeing to abide by all conditions.

CANCELLATION

  • To cancel/reschedule an appointment, an explanation isn’t necessary, but timely notification is required. Email or SMS alone are not reliable at short notice. You will receive a brief reply from me to acknowledge your message.

Late cancellation

There are deadlines for cancelling or changing an appointment. After these times you will be liable for a cancellation fee (or the equivalent will be deducted from prepaid appointments). Payment is due within 48 hours.

Cancellation fees are charged because the time was reserved exclusively for you. Late cancellation should be made by (1) phone, or (2) email AND sms.

APPOINTMENT FEES

Private clients

  • Most single-session fee payments can be made by cash/cheque at the appointment, or in advance by bank transfer/credit card.
  • Discounted and evening/Saturday fees can only be paid in advance.
  • All advance payments must be made at least three business days in advance. Credit card payments attract a PayPal surcharge of approx. 3%. To make a payment go to this page.

I reserve the right to change cancellation deadlines or withdraw discounts if a client cancels frequently.

Preparing for a job interview or a public presentation is stressful for most people. Ear & Speak can make it easier.
