When we developed our pricing scheme we had a goal of offering a uniform monthly price because many people get paid and budget monthly. But making that work does mean the way your bill is calculated is rather complex.  

​

There are two questions we often get asked about the pricing for recurring monthly.   The first is, why are the lessons only 55 minutes or 40 minutes, instead of 1 hour or 45 minutes?   The reason is because realistically your tutor has to have a little time between classes. 

​

The othe question we are often asked is: "How can I fairly be charged the same price each month when months vary from 28 to 31 days?"  The answer is we average it out for a year.  Some months you get a little more than “fair” and other months you get a little less, but over a year it works out to the posted price.   Here is how it’s calculated if you are studying 55 minutes 3 times per week:

​

There are 365.25 days in a year.

365.25 / 12 = 30.44 days for an average month

30.44 / 7 = 4.35 weeks in an average month

​

So if you study 55 minutes 3 times per week that is:

55 x 3 =165 minutes per week.

165 x 4.35 = 717.75 minutes per average month or...

11.96 hours per average month

​

11.96 x $7.5/hr = $89.72
