Extenuating Circumstances

This policy defines what Tutred considers to be extenuating circumstances and addresses how those are handled for lesson cancellations and no-shows.

Policy

If you cancel a lesson less than 24 hours before it starts, Tutred may be able to waive the cancellation fee, protect your performance metrics, and help your student rebook if the reason for cancellation or a no-show meets Tutred's definition of an extenuating circumstance, as listed below. 
To cancel a lesson due to an eligible extenuating circumstance, contact customer support.
