Legal Question in Employment Law in New York

legal promise?

If someone pays me a certain

amount to secure a specific number

of time slots for tutoring for an

upcoming exam, doesnt use all the

time slots, and then asks for the

money back AFTER the exam, and

after the time slots could no longer

be filled of course, did he make a

legal promise to pay for these

sessions?
