Overview

Use your Family Sessions page to adjust or cancel upcoming tutoring sessions.

Before you start

  • You have a scheduled session for a student in your family.
  • Your session is far enough in the future to meet the reschedule or cancellation policy.

Understanding cancellation policies

Most tutoring organizations require 24-48 hours notice for cancellations or rescheduling. Late cancellations may result in session hours being deducted from your package even though the session didn't occur. Check your organization's specific policy to understand the requirements and any exceptions for emergencies.

When to reschedule vs. cancel

Reschedule when your student is sick, has a conflict, or needs to change the time but still wants the instruction. Cancel when you want to skip the session entirely. Rescheduling maintains your student's learning continuity and ensures you use the package hours you purchased.

Best practices

Try to provide as much notice as possible when you need to make changes. This helps the coach adjust their schedule and potentially fill the time slot with another student. If you need to reschedule regularly, consider working with your coach to adjust your standing weekly appointment time.
