We email you as soon as they decide. Until then, your account dashboard shows the request as **Pending** under **Awaiting Instructor Approval**. ## What happens while you wait - We email you to say the request has reached the instructor. - The time you picked stays held for you. - Your account dashboard lists the session, the instructor and the date under **Awaiting Instructor Approval**. Some instructors accept every booking straight away. In that case you skip the wait and the confirmation arrives once you pay. You can see who teaches what on [our artists page](/en-int/artists) and [our courses page](/en-int/courses). ## When the instructor decides - **Accepted:** we email you the confirmation, and the session appears in **My Meetings** in your account menu. Reminders follow before the start (see [When do I get lesson reminders?](/en-int/help/courses-learning/when-do-i-get-lesson-reminders)). - **Declined:** we email you the instructor's reason and refund your payment in full (see [My one-to-one booking was declined. What happens to my payment?](/en-int/help/courses-learning/my-one-to-one-booking-was-declined-what-happens-to-my-payment)). ## If the request is still waiting If the session is less than a day away and the request still shows **Pending**, write to with your order number and the instructor's name. We contact the instructor and reply within one working day. See [Contact us](/help/general/contact-us).
