Students stop lessons for many reasons: money, time, a new job, a move. The last lesson matters. A good ending leaves the student able to continue alone, and glad they came.
Look back together

Ten minutes a day. One short video. Three sentences out loud.

The answer teaches you too.
What was most useful for you?
Say goodbye warmly
A short, kind message is enough.
It was a pleasure to teach you. Keep going.
Keep the door open
Tell them they can come back for one lesson when they need it.

Questions & answers
Q: Should I give a final test?
A friendly check is fine. A hard exam at the end is not.
Q: What if the student is unhappy to stop?
Listen. Sometimes the reason is money or time, not the lessons. Offer a cheaper, shorter plan.
Q: Should I give materials to keep?
Yes. A short list of links, or a page of useful sentences.
Q: What if the student disappears without saying anything?
Send one kind message. Then let it go. Not every ending is planned.
Q: Can students come back later?
Yes. Say so. Many students return after a few months.
