Usually, I have a Chinese class for a girl at 10 am on Sunday morning. It’s a online class. But today the girl called me at 10:05 when I was waiting for her on Zoom. She told me that she just woke up because she had a party last night and she slept very very late. She asked me if the class can start later or cancel. I heard that her voice was unclear. She absolutely didn’t really wake up yet. I don’t think it’ll be a good idea to wait her for I don’t know how much time and probably she will still be sleepy in the class. I thought the best is to cancel the class.

Unless she's younger than 18, using "girl" instead of "woman" might annoy some people.
If you're teaching the class (which I think is the case here), you could say "I hold a Chinese class for a woman..."

Good job!
In English, unlike some other languages, when you're talking about a point in the past in which you were thinking about the future, you need to use the past or conditional:
I DIDN'T think it WOULD BE a good idea.
I thought it WOULD BE best to cancel the class.
