The agreement between you and Maza Academics
Last updated: September 15, 2026
These terms govern your use of mazaacademics.com and the services provided by Maza Academics. By using this site or engaging our services, you agree to them. If a parent or guardian is arranging services for a student under 18, the parent or guardian agrees to these terms on the student's behalf.
Maza Academics provides one-on-one tutoring, standardized test preparation, college and graduate school essay coaching, and academic writing instruction. Services are delivered by Edward Maza and, where a subject falls outside his direct expertise, by partner tutors engaged for that purpose. We will tell you when a partner tutor is involved.
We do not guarantee any particular test score, grade, or admissions outcome. Nobody credibly can. Admissions decisions rest with the institutions, and test performance depends on factors outside our control, the student's own preparation among them. What we commit to is skilled, individually tailored instruction and honest feedback.
Any scores, results, or testimonials shown on this site describe what particular students achieved. They are not a prediction of what you will achieve.
This matters more than anything else on this page. We coach writers. We do not write for them.
In essay work, we help students find their subject, structure their thinking, and revise their own prose. The words that go into an application must be the student's own. We will not ghostwrite a personal statement, supplemental essay, statement of purpose, or any coursework, and we will not knowingly help anyone misrepresent authorship to an institution. We reserve the right to end an engagement, without refund of completed sessions, if we are asked to.
Students remain responsible for complying with the academic integrity policies of their schools and the institutions they apply to.
Rates, package terms, and our scheduling and cancellation policies are set out on our pricing page and form part of these terms. In summary: sessions are scheduled by agreement, payment terms are as stated at the time of booking, and cancellations require advance notice to avoid being charged.
Package fees are for a defined body of work. Where a package is ended early at the client's request, any refund is at our discretion and will reflect work already completed.
Worksheets, practice materials, curricula, written feedback, and other instructional content we provide remain our intellectual property. You may use them for the student's own learning. You may not copy, distribute, resell, or publish them, or use them to deliver instruction to others.
The content of this website, including text, design, and the Maza Academics name and logo, belongs to us. Beyond the Prompt is a copyrighted work and is subject to its own terms of sale.
Work the student creates — their essays, their drafts — belongs to the student.
We correspond by email, by phone, and through scheduled sessions. Where the student is a minor, we keep a parent or guardian informed about scheduling, billing, and progress. We will tell you if we have a concern about a student's wellbeing.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Maza Academics is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from the use of this site or our services, including admissions outcomes, test results, or academic decisions. Our total liability for any claim relating to our services will not exceed the amount you paid us for the services giving rise to the claim.
Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
This site is provided as is. We aim to keep the information on it accurate and current, but we do not warrant that it is free of errors or that the site will be uninterrupted. Links to third-party sites are provided for convenience; we are not responsible for their content or practices.

We may revise these terms. The date at the top reflects the current version. Continuing to use the site or our services after a revision means you accept the revised terms. Material changes affecting an active engagement will be communicated directly.
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York.
