-
What if I need to cancel a lesson?
We require at least 7 days’ notice to reschedule a lesson. Last-minute cancellations (less than 24 hours) cannot be credited or rescheduled, as that time was already reserved for you.What happens if I miss a lesson without notice?
No-shows are charged at the full lesson rate.What if my instructor cancels?
If we ever need to cancel due to illness or unforeseen circumstances, we will offer a reschedule/ “make-up” lesson.Why does it work this way?
Your instructors schedule their time and income around booked lessons. If a student cancels last minute or doesn’t show up, the instructor is still there, unable to fill that time with another student or use it for something else. That’s why we require notice, so that our instructors can plan accordingly and be fairly compensated for their time.
