Frequently Asked Questions
Pricing & flexibility
Is $180 the lowest you can go? Are there any other programs or discounts available?
Maybe! I always try to be as flexible as possible, and we may be able to work something out. Please ask—if you don’t, I’ll assume you’re comfortable with the available options.
All ages welcome
Do you work with adults as well, or only children?
We work with everyone! Although we tend to have more younger students, we have worked—and will continue to work—with clients of all ages.
Homework & tournaments
Do you usually assign homework?
Generally, no. Coach Chapman may offer homework, but it is optional.
Tournament preparation is an exception. Depending on the event, work outside class may be necessary to compete. For example, students entering a prepared-speech event need to prepare their speech on their own time.
Public classes
Do you have public classes? I or my child would like to try, but private classes are outside our budget, or we’re having trouble finding others to join us.
Unfortunately, not at the moment. We’ve offered public classes in the past, but they didn’t work out long-term. We’re continuing to work on it and plan to try again when demand and logistics align.
Coaching That Comes to You
Travel & locations
Where is Coach Chapman willing to travel?
Anywhere in the South Bay Area! If you’re nearby, we may be able to work something out. Coaching outside the Bay Area may also be possible, but in-person sessions will probably involve an additional fee because of the distance.
Still have a question?
Please reach out—we’re happy to discuss your goals and the options that may work for you.
