To be eligible for a full or partial refund, students must accomplish the following:

Students are responsible for attending each class (this includes staying for the duration of the class and arriving prepared with all materials).

Completing and grading all assigned homework before class and filling out the progress grid on the back of the stamp sheet.

Sitting for at least one MTAT-proctored practice test during their course.

Ensuring the attendance / homework record is kept current.

Students are responsible for providing proof of fulfilling course requirements by submitting a copy of their original stamp sheet in the event a refund is requested.

More Than a Teacher guarantees a 100-point increase to any student who fulfills the requirements of the SAT course.

The score increase will be based on a student’s highest previous official score on a PSAT (the SAT equivalent score) or SAT. The refund amount is prorated based on the amount of the score increase. For example, if the score goes up 60 points, then the student is refunded 40% of the registration cost for the 40-point deficit. We guarantee a two-point increase to any student who fulfills the requirements of the ACT course. The score increase will be based on a student’s highest previous official score on an ACT. A one-point increase is equal to a 50% refund on the ACT. Refunds are limited to no more than the cost of registration. Students who receive a refund forfeit the unlimited return policy.
