These terms describe what walkerprep.com is, what it is not, and the basic understandings that govern its use. Plain language, no jargon, no fine print.
01 What this site is
walkerprep.com is an informational site for Walker Prep, a boutique SAT Reading & Writing tutoring practice operated by Dave Walker. The practice is based in Pasadena, California, and serves students throughout the United States — all programs are delivered online. The site describes our method and our programs, hosts the contact form by which prospective students and families reach us, and links out to the platforms where our paid programs are delivered.
This site is not a checkout, a learning management system, or a place where tutoring happens. All purchases, enrollments, and sessions take place on third-party platforms — primarily Teachable, Podia, and Zoom — and your relationship with each of those platforms is governed by their own terms.
02 Using the site
You may browse walkerprep.com, read its content, and use the contact form for legitimate inquiries. You may not:
- Use the site for any unlawful purpose
- Submit false, misleading, or harassing content through the contact form
- Attempt to disrupt, attack, or gain unauthorized access to the site or its underlying infrastructure
- Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content without permission
- Use automated tools, bots, or harvesters to crawl or extract data
03 The contact form & response times
When you submit the contact form, you are reaching out for a conversation — nothing more. Submitting the form does not enroll you in a program, reserve a tutoring slot, or commit you (or us) to anything. Dave reads every note personally and most replies arrive within one business day.
Because the practice is small and the schedule is finite, we cannot guarantee that we are accepting new students at any given time. If our roster is full when you write, we will say so.
04 Programs and their terms
The following Walker Prep programs are delivered through third-party platforms. Each platform sets its own terms of purchase, refund policy, and access conditions. Where those terms conflict with anything written here, the platform's terms govern the purchase itself.
- The Diagnostic Review — delivered through Teachable
- One-on-One Tutoring — purchased through Teachable; sessions held over Zoom
- Group Courses — purchased through Teachable; sessions held over Zoom
- Self-Paced SAT R&W Mastery — hosted on Podia
Tutoring outcomes vary by student. Walker Prep does not guarantee any specific score result. The score improvements quoted on this site reflect the actual experience of past students and are not promises of comparable results for any new student.
05 Intellectual property
All content on walkerprep.com — including the written copy, the brand marks, the visual design, and the underlying methodology described as "a method, not tricks" — is the intellectual property of Walker Prep and Dave Walker. You may share links to any page on this site freely. You may not copy, republish, or adapt the content for commercial purposes without written permission.
Quotations from past students appear with their consent. We have used first names only and have edited for length and clarity where noted.
06 Third-party links
This site links to external platforms, including but not limited to Teachable, Podia, Substack, and Zoom. Walker Prep does not control these platforms and is not responsible for their content, their terms, their practices, or their availability. Following a link to a third party is at your own discretion.
07 Trademarks
SAT® is a registered trademark of the College Board. ACT® is a registered trademark of ACT, Inc. Walker Prep is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the College Board or ACT, Inc. References to these tests on our site are descriptive, not affiliative.
08 Disclaimers
walkerprep.com is provided on an "as is" basis. While we work to keep the site accurate and up to date, we make no warranties — express or implied — about its completeness, reliability, or availability. The information here is for general informational purposes and should not be taken as a substitute for professional advice on academic, financial, or admissions matters.
09 Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by California law, Walker Prep and Dave Walker will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site. Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to this site is limited to the greater of $100 or the amount you have paid Walker Prep directly through this site (which, in nearly every case, will be $0 — purchases happen on third-party platforms).
10 Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising under these terms shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California.
11 Changes to these terms
