Thanks for your question, Pepe. Lots of people get confused with this - mainly because people use both is and are without caring about (or knowing) the difference.
Neither IS scheduled to arrive on time.
Why? The word "neither" is singular (meaning not one OR the other of two items). Would you say "Not one of them are scheduled to arrive." Here, "are" is clearly a mistake.
You would say: "Not one of them is scheduled to arrive on time." The same goes with "neither." Neither of them is scheduled to arrive on time.

Hello. Thanks for asking about private lesson teaching on-line. I usually charge $20.00 per hour for private lessons. And I expect all my students to do quite a lot of homework on their own time as a result of our lessons together. If you'd like to know more details, please send me an e-mail at:

Hope to hear from you again,
