TypeError: props.toggleConfirmationAt is not a function

Hello, I see others have posted about this same problem. I tried going through their solutions but no luck. I don't know what I did wrong. My app works until I check the checkbox, then I get this syntax error: TypeError: props.toggleConfirmationAt is not a function. Can anyone help? Thanks!

In App.js

toggleConfirmationAt = (indexToChange) => 
    this.setState({
      guests: this.state.guests.map((guest, index) => {
        if (index === indexToChange) {
          return {
            ...guest,
            isConfirmed: !guest.isConfirmed
          };
        }
        return guest;
      })
    });

In GuestList.js:

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';
import Guest from './Guest';

const GuestList = (props) => {
  return (
  <ul>
    {props.guests.map((guest, index) => (
      <Guest
       key={index}
       name={guest.name} 
       isConfirmed={guest.isConfirmed}
       handleConfirmation={() => props.toggleConfirmationAt(index)}
      />
    ))}
  </ul>
  );
    };

GuestList.propTypes = {
  guests: PropTypes.array.isRequired,
  toggleConfirmationAt: PropTypes.func.isRequired
};

export default GuestList;

In Guest.js:

import React from 'react';
import PropTypes from 'prop-types';

const Guest = props => {
  return (
  <li>
    <span>{props.name}</span>
    <label>
    <input 
     type="checkbox"
     checked={props.isConfirmed} 
     onChange={props.handleConfirmation}
      /> 
     Confirmed
    </label>
    <button>edit</button>
    <button>remove</button>
  </li>
  );
};

Guest.propTypes = {
  name: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
  isConfirmed: PropTypes.bool.isRequired,
  handleConfirmation: PropTypes.func.isRequired
};

export default Guest;

Ok I solved my own problem here...of course it was a typo!!!

Down in App.js, here was my problem. I fixed it and it works now :)

<GuestList
           guests={this.state.guests} 
             toggleConfirmationAt={this.toggleCoirmationAt}
           />
        </div>
      </div>
