Kaplan Center Private Lessons Application Procedures

Step.01

Hearing

A hearing session with you is required before proceeding with the application in order to best determine how we can help you achieve your top score! We will be asking you similar questions to the ones below.

1) What exactly would you like to achieve/ do in the private lessons?
2) What is your preferred number of lessons and preferred pace?
(i.e., total of 6 lessons at a pace of 1 lesson per week)
3) What is your schedule availability? (i.e.: weekday evenings, Saturdays, Sundays)
4) What is your current test score?

Step.02

After determining the number of lessons you plan to have, the application process begins!

We will send you the application form immediately following the hearing. Payment in full is necessary before we begin arranging your private lesson schedule. If you have any difficulty submitting your application or payment by our requested deadline, please let us know as soon as possible. After confirming payment, we will arrange your private lesson schedule. Within 1 week of confirming your payment, we will present you with your private lesson schedule.

If by any chance we are unable to arrange your private lesson schedule after receiving your payment, we will completely refund your payment (live course tuition, textbooks, and enrollment fee). If you made your payment via bank transfer, we are unfortunately unable to refund the bank transfer handling charge; however, we will of course refund your total payment, minus the handling charge.

If you have applied for an exceptionally large number of lessons, there is a possibility we may have to arrange the 1st half of the lessons in the beginning, and then arrange the latter half of the lessons when it becomes necessary.

Please note that you are not permitted to request teachers by name, or have personal consulting sessions with them before the start of lessons.

Step.03

Private Lessons begin!

Please be sure to confirm the private lesson location and time beforehand. We will be giving you your textbooks on the first day of your private lessons.
If you suddenly have to cancel your private lesson, or need to change the time/ date of an upcoming private lesson, you must let us know no later than two business days (Kaplan business days) in advance, in order to reschedule. If you choose to cancel your private lesson the day before, or on the day of the lesson, the private lesson will automatically be considered completed, and will not be possible to make-up.
