Cancellation & Lateness Policy

Students may cancel or reschedule a 1-on-1 lesson at least 2 hours before the scheduled class time. Cancellations within 2 hours before class are not supported and the lesson may be counted as used. Roots will wait in the classroom for 15 minutes. If the student does not arrive within 15 minutes, the class will be closed and the lesson will be counted as used. If the student arrives late, the lesson will still end at the scheduled time and the missed time will not be added back.
