Coaching WARNING

From my perspective, coaches should definitely be free to answer questions/review hands during the week in between sessions by email or whatever, within reason. 150/hr or whatever is a lot of money and coaches should see themselves as providing a high quality service for the money. just my two cents. but you should definitely get these things specified upfront. you definitely have to protect yourself and make sure you're getting what you want BEFORE you enter into any agreement to the extent possible.

Absolutely. It sucks that OP has no recourse, at least it was a (relatively) cheap lesson.

All,

I wrote this in the other thread:

"OP,

I think you were pretty naive in your expectations and actions here and as people have said, you aren't OWED anything, but from reading the chat it sure seems to me like the right thing for snowbank to do is to refund your money (or maybe keep $150 for one extra hour as a compromise?). Not doing that seems just like a dick move to me."

Reading above, seems like snowbank has a clear option here. Charge $200/hr for the two hours, refund $350.

I also am realizing that I am probably owed about six million dollars in coaching fees from 2+2 kids I've helped on AIM haha.

PM me your aim, please? Haha...
