Can Voksha reschedule sessions when a tutor calls out or cancels at the last minute?

Yes, this is one of the more operationally valuable workflows for a tutoring business, since tutor cancellations are common, especially with part-time tutors who are also college students or working other jobs. When a tutor cancellation comes in, Voksha can call or text affected families proactively to offer alternative times, either with the same tutor rescheduled to a nearby slot, or with a different qualified tutor covering the same subject and grade level if the original session cannot be salvaged. This matters because a canceled session left unresolved is a double loss: the family feels let down and may question reliability, and the revenue from that hour is gone if it is not rebooked. Rather than a coordinator manually calling five families whose Tuesday sessions just opened up, Voksha can work through the list, check calendar availability for substitute tutors qualified in that subject, and confirm new times, filling the gap created by the cancellation instead of leaving it empty. This same logic applies to filling gaps created by any cancellation, not just tutor-side ones; if a family cancels a session, Voksha can flag that slot as open and, depending on your configuration, offer it to other families on a waitlist for that subject or tutor, which is especially useful during test-prep season when demand regularly exceeds available slots. The net effect is fewer completely wasted tutor hours and fewer families left without a session they were counting on, both of which directly protect revenue and retention in a business where a single missed weekly session can be the reason a family looks elsewhere.
