A note about tech issues*
Technology is great, but it isn't always reliable. There will be issues that arise that are out of yours and sometimes our control. Unfortunately, we can't be available 24/7 and fix all problems. There may be an occasion when you cannot resolve a tech issue for yourself or your student in a timely manner. This is the nature of the business. Your responsibility is to contact us, do your best to resolve the issue, and provide your teaching services to whoever is available at the scheduled time. If something prevents you from doing that, whether it be human error, robot errors, or mother nature, the best you can do is your best. We will do our best to resolve all issues in a timely manner and work to prevent future issues.
