Thread: Private classes at a student's home, Release Waiver?

I'm teaching a private lesson at someone's home, what sort of waivers do bhuzzers have for these situations. In this case, the student is a friend but I'd still like to have something in mind for the future, and I'll have her sign something just to be professional. I'm really bad at legal wording, so any advice would be appreciated!

I use the same waiver for all of my students, no matter how many their are in the class or where the class takes place. If you shoot me an email at galateadancer at gmail dot com I can send you my form.

That said, I only use the waiver as a supplement/backup to my personal liability insurance. My understanding is that waivers really don't stand up at all in court if someone were to sue you.

Thanks Laura! It's a really nicely worded waiver. In addition to Laura, who else has liability insurance and what companies do you go with?
