When your class teacher asks a colleague to cover a session

Sometimes the teacher of your group class can't teach one session. They can ask another KoloLingo teacher to teach it instead, so the session isn't cancelled. Your class, your seat and every other session stay exactly the same.

When you're asked

If the new teacher isn't part of your teacher's school, you and every other student in the class decide. You get a notification and an email asking whether that teacher may teach the session. Open it to see:

• the class, the session and its time;
• the new teacher's name and photo, with a link to their full profile;
• the time by which you need to answer.

Deciding

• Yes, that's fine: you agree to the new teacher for this one session.
• No, keep …: your own teacher teaches the session as planned.

The change only happens if every student says yes. If anyone says no, or not everyone answers in time, nothing changes and your own teacher teaches the session. Either way, you're told what happens.

Good to know

• You never pay anything extra, and the session's time and room stay the same.
• If you leave the class before everyone has answered, you no longer have a say.
• If the new teacher is from your teacher's own school, you aren't asked; you're simply told who will teach the session.
