If the student is late or doesn't show up for a lesson, the teacher should still end the lesson as normal. However, the teacher should wait at least 30 minutes or more for the student to show up before ending. The platform will not allow the teacher to end the lesson until at least 30 minutes after the lesson start time. When ending the lesson, please click the "Charge the Student" option to charge the student for the entire class. Note that the student may open an issue later and dispute the charge. They may even raise the issue to the administrator level if they are not satisfied with your decision.
For trial lessons, the teacher should NOT end the lesson, but should unschedule or cancel the lesson, instead. This is done so that the student can reschedule the lesson again.
If the student is often late to class or misses class, please write a message to the parent recommending that they add their phone number to the Account Settings screen and enable SMS reminders:

Don't forget to click the "Save Changes" button after making any changes to the Account Settings screen.
