Find out whether they’re just taking a break

Some students pause their lessons and intend to resume after a break. Other students may want to stop taking lessons entirely. When you learn your student wants to stop taking lessons, chat with them about whether they plan to resume their lessons later.

If your student is just taking a break...

If a student is taking a temporary break, keep them on your roster, but remove their future scheduled lessons from the calendar.

  • Your student won’t be billed while they are away
  • Their time slot will be open for another student
  • Any remaining unused credits will be held on their account, to schedule when they are ready to start lessons again.

 Cancel future scheduled lessons

  1. To cancel lessons from your computer, Log in to your teacher account at TakeLessons.com, and click Calendar under the Scheduling tab.
