Can't make a lesson?

Ask your tutor to move a lesson, or cancel it. What happens depends on whether it's more or less than 48 hours away.

If you can't make a lesson, you can message your tutor to find another time, or cancel it. Lessons more than 48 hours away are cancelled straight away. Closer than that, your tutor has to agree.

1. Open Can't make it?

Open the lesson (from Home or Lessons) and select Can't make it? (1).

A lesson page with Can't make it? marked 1

In Lessons you can also select ⋯ on the lesson's row, then Can't make it? (1).

4. Ask to cancel a lesson less than 48 hours away

Less than 48 hours before, your tutor has to agree before the lesson is cancelled. Until they do, it may still be charged (1).

5. Cancel from the lesson's cancel page

On a lesson in a reservation's schedule, ⋯ then Cancel lesson opens a separate page. It says what cancelling will cost (1), using the same 48-hour rule.

  • More than 48 hours away: select Cancel lesson (2), then Yes, cancel lesson.

  • Less than 48 hours away: select Ask to cancel lesson, then Yes, ask to cancel.

Keep lesson or Back leaves the lesson booked.

Good to know

  • Cancel the whole plan in the panel cancels the whole reservation. See Cancel a reservation.

  • Until your tutor agrees to a late cancellation, the lesson stays booked and may still be charged. Message them if you need an answer quickly.
