July 2021 Update: We’d love to say that we could take this page down, because we really want to resume our in-home service as usual. But the coronavirus delta variant continues to spread and mask mandates are reappearing in some parts of the country. So the guidance below remains relevant.

1. Stay home if you feel symptoms coming on or if you have exposure to someone with the illness or if you have at-risk relatives at home (elderly or with compromised immune systems) .

2. We’ll ask our clients to extend the same courtesy to you: to let you know if someone may be ill in their family.

3. Wear a mask during tutoring, if you wish, and you may ask your student to do the same.

4. At the start of the lesson wash or sanitize your hands when you enter the home and ask your student to do so too. Wipe down the table where you will be working.

5. Avoid touching your student or shaking hands with the parent. Maybe a namaste gesture?

Also updated July 2021. This page has been updated several times since posting it in March 2020. We’ve come a long way, and understand more. Most of the advice we provided about wiping everything down has proven to have been overkill. Masks are the best way of preventing the spread of the virus. And, without doubt, your best protection against serious illness and to greatly reduce the risk of passing along the virus is get yourself vaccinated.
