As of the Fall 2024 term, the fee per hour is – 

  • 1 student: $175/hr 

  • 2 students: $200/hr ($25 per hour for each additional student)

  • 3 students: $225/hr

  • Additional class-specific fees may be incurred (e.g. live model fees) based on scope of lessons and student interest and goals.

Payment

Payment is due for all scheduled Private Lessons at least one week prior to the first scheduled lesson.

Cancellations for Private Sessions

Per the BAC Private Lesson Agreement, student cancellations must be made one week in advance. Without this notification, the student will be responsible for the full fee of the scheduled session.

Cancellations for Group Sessions

Per the BAC Private Group Lesson Agreement, group cancellations must be made one week in advance. Without this notification, the group will be responsible for the full fee of the scheduled session.

If any individual within the group cancels at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled lesson, then that student will not be charged. The tuition cost for the rest of the group will be adjusted to reflect the actual number of students attending the lesson that day.
