Document and ask for a refund

  1. Wait 10 to 15 minutes and message the tutor in the app.
  2. Screenshot the booking, the chat and the time you waited.
  3. Check the tutor's listed cancellation terms.
  4. Ask in writing for a refund or a free make-up session.
  5. If there is no answer in 2 business days, file a dispute through the marketplace.

Safety: Keep all messages on the platform so there is a record.

Stop and call a pro if: You were charged for a session that did not happen and the tutor will not respond.
