Cancel a reservation

How to end a run of lessons with a tutor, what happens to lessons in the next two weeks, and what you see afterwards.

Cancel a reservation when you want to stop having lessons with a tutor altogether. To miss one lesson, see Can't make a lesson? instead.

1. Open Cancel reservation

Open the reservation from Reservations, select ⋯ at the top, then Cancel reservation (1). You can also use ⋯ on the reservation's row in the list.

The reservation's more menu, with Cancel reservation marked 1

2. Read what cancelling means

The page starts with "Cancelling ends your lessons with …" and explains what happens to your lessons (1).

Tutors plan their week around bookings, so lessons in the next two weeks still happen and are charged. The page names your last lesson and how many later lessons will be cancelled, for example "your last lesson will be Tue 20 Oct 2026. 2 later lessons will be cancelled."

The cancel page, with the two-week explanation marked 1, Reason marked 2 and Cancel reservation marked 3

Below it you see the tutor, subject and schedule, so you can check it's the right reservation.

3. Add a reason (optional)

Type a reason in Reason (2). Your tutor will see it.

4. Confirm

Select Cancel reservation (3). We ask you to confirm, and repeat what will happen. This can't be undone.

The Cancel your reservation with …? dialog with Keep reservation and Yes, cancel reservation

Select Yes, cancel reservation. To change your mind, select Keep reservation.

What happens next

You see "Your reservation with … has been cancelled." The reservation page now shows Cancelled, when you cancelled it and your reason. Your tutor sees the cancellation and your reason.

The cancelled reservation, with the cancellation notice and the confirmation message

Lessons in the next two weeks stay in Lessons and are charged after they take place, as usual. Later lessons are cancelled: in the reservation's schedule and in Lessons they show Cancelled and Not charged.

Good to know

  • Keep reservation on the cancel page takes you back without cancelling.

  • If you want to skip a single lesson in the next two weeks, use Can't make it? on that lesson. See Can't make a lesson?

  • You can also turn down a reservation that's waiting for you the same way, from ⋯ then Cancel reservation on its row.

  • To have lessons with the same tutor again later, ask them to send you a new reservation.
