Transparent Pricing & Expectations
To help you plan your budget with zero surprises, here is a complete breakdown of how pricing, session formats, and payment terms work:

1. Simple, Transparent Rate
Hourly Rate: R250 per hour.

Payment Terms: All lessons are paid for in advance directly through the Superprof platform to secure your booking slot on the calendar.

2. What Your Rate Covers
Your hourly rate is all-inclusive for standard 1-on-1 online sessions. There are no hidden fees for standard lesson preparation or basic material reviews.

1-on-1 Dedicated Time: Live screen-sharing, step-by-step guidance, and real-time troubleshooting.

Session Review Notes: Concise action items and clear steps to complete before our next meeting.

In-Session Reviews: Quick spot-checks during our time together to review your data outputs, code, or methodology drafts.

3. Equipment & Software Requirements
All sessions are conducted online via video call (Google Meet or Zoom). There are no extra fees for room or equipment rental, but you will need:

Hardware: A laptop or computer with a working microphone, webcam, and a stable internet connection. Screen-sharing is essential for hands-on data analysis walk-throughs.

Software: Access to your own statistical software (such as SPSS or Excel) installed on your computer prior to the lesson. Most universities provide free student licenses—be sure to check with your institution beforehand.

4. Out-of-Session Deep Reviews (Optional)
If you require extensive pre-reading of a full dissertation chapter or complex dataset cleaning outside of our scheduled lesson hours, this is billed at the standard rate of R250/hour based on an agreed-upon estimated time. Scope and costs are always confirmed and paid in advance before any offline work begins.

5. Rescheduling & Cancellation Policy
24-Hour Notice: You can reschedule or cancel any session free of charge up to 24 hours before our scheduled start time.

Late Cancellations: Cancellations made within less than 24 hours or missed sessions ("no-shows") are charged at the full session rate to respect scheduled calendar time.
