……………. She isn’t giving* a class for** 6 pm Monday…………………..
I was going to book my son an online class for 6 pm next Monday, but the teacher he liked didn’t give a class at 6 pm Monday, so I said, “She isn’t teaching a class at 6 pm Monday.” I was uncertain about this.
I came up with these three sentences:
1. She isn’t giving/teaching/having a class for 6 pm Monday.
2. She isn’t giving/teaching/having a class for 6 pm on Monday.
3. She isn’t giving/teaching/having a class at 6 pm Monday.
Do these verbs sound natural in this context? Should I use ‘for’ or ‘at’? Should I use ‘on’ before Monday?
I feel it should be a simple sentence, but I just don’t know how to say it.
What would you say in this situation?
Thank you very much. :)

When mentioning specific hours, we always use 'at' (eg. at 6pm, at quarter to seven, at 4:30am, etc.)
'On Monday' is correct. You will hear people not use 'on' more in conversation, because it is quicker to say. When we mention 'last, next' we don't use on.
In terms of 'giving/teaching/having', it depends on the context (i.e. whether this is every Monday, or specifically next Monday). 'Teach a class' is always correct. ('He teaches a class every hour'). 'Have a class' is also correct, but often refers to both the teacher and student together, or only the student. ('We have a class every Wednesday', 'We will not have class this week'). 'Give a class' sounds unnatural to me.
To describe this situation, I would say one of these:
She's not available at 6pm next Monday. She's not teaching at 6pm on Monday. There's no class at 6pm next Monday. We're not gonna have class at 6pm on Monday.
