Common questions

Five things families ask before booking — answered in plain language.

Read this alongside your parent. If your question isn't here, write to us using the address at the bottom of the page — we'll reply and add it to this list.

01

How much does a session cost, and are there surprise fees?

One session is a short video call with a Quietloom coach — about as long as a chat over coffee. If a family member wants to sit in on the call, the price stays the same.

We don't publish a price on the site today. The first email reply from us states the price before any commitment, so a learner never sees a charge they didn't agree to. If cost is part of what you're weighing, our refer-a-parent page explains the no-surprise framing. When you're ready to book, the booking form is the only place a booking is started.

02

What do you collect, and who sees the recap?

We only collect what the booking form asks for: a name, an email, the device you'll join from, and a short description of the one thing you want help with. Nothing else.

After each call, the coach writes a short recap and emails it directly to the family member whose address was given at booking. That is the only place the recap goes. We do not sell data, we do not install software on the learner's device, and we do not give any third party access to the call.

03

Can my parent still book if I can’t sit in on the call?

Yes. The coach stays with the learner the whole time, whether or not anyone else is on the call. The one-on-one, unhurried pacing stays the same, and a recap is still written and emailed after the call — the default recipient is whoever the booking said to copy.

There's nothing to pass and no timer. The learner can stop at any moment by closing the window. Our what-to-expect page walks through the no-timer, no-test pacing in plain language.

04

Do you cover scams, too?

Yes. Quietloom covers the scams we hear about most — grandparent-emergency impersonation, fake tech-support pop-ups, package-delivery SMS phishing, Medicare and IRS impersonation, and romance scams.

The hub page with all five is /scams. A printable one-pager to put on the fridge is at /cheats/scams.

05

Will Mom’s old phone work?

Anything that runs a video call works. A phone (iPhone or Android), a laptop (Mac or Windows), or a tablet (iPad). There is no app to install — that's the bar.

The booking form asks which device will be used. At the start of the call, the coach spends a couple of minutes making sure the audio and camera are comfortable — never assuming, always asking.
