This article explains how to cancel a lesson and what happens to the payment.

Updated today

How to cancel

  1. Open the lesson from My Lessons.

  2. Tap one of the following (depending on the lesson status):

    • Cancel Request — If the lesson is still pending confirmation.

    • Cancel Lesson — If the lesson has already been confirmed.

  3. Optionally enter a reason for cancelling.

  4. Confirm the cancellation.

The lesson moves to Cancelled status and the other person is notified.

Before cancelling a confirmed lesson, you'll see a suggestion: "Need to cancel? Consider rescheduling instead!" You can tap Reschedule to propose a new time instead of cancelling outright.
