The location of your private lesson is entirely yours, so feel free to get creative or choose your favourite part of town. In-person lessons include your instructor’s travel anywhere within the City of Toronto.

Private lessons are not restricted to outdoor or public locations. For example, I can teach Adobe Lightroom Classic in your home. If you enjoy animal and wildlife photography, I’d happily meet you at Riverdale Farm, the Toronto Zoo, or Tommy Thompson Park.

For lessons held outside the City of Toronto, a travel fee of $1.95 per kilometre, calculated one way from Exposure Therapy’s location, will apply. Such lessons are custom priced, so please contact me before making your purchase.

My complete cancellation and refund policy is found in the Terms of Sale. The following summary is for your convenience:

  • All sales are final, and no refunds are given if you cancel.
  • If unexpected issues occur, you can reschedule up to 24 hours before your private lesson is scheduled to start.

The lesson fee does not cover the instructor’s entry fee for locations with paid admission. You must purchase the instructor’s ticket for such venues.

If your lesson takes place outdoors, please wear clothing appropriate for the weather.
