The Lesson Booking Runaround

You just want to book a lesson. But somehow it turns into days of back-and-forth texts and voicemails.

Texting your instructor and waiting hours (or days) for a response
Phone tag that stretches across multiple days
Not knowing what times are actually available
Forgetting to follow up and missing your spot
Double-booking yourself because you couldn't see the full picture
Having to coordinate schedules through multiple text threads
