I'm really disappointed in teaching tuition alr. My only tutee is at Clementi whch is like 1 hr plus away per trip and I charge him 180/month for sec 3 chinese.
1) I gave him 2 free books as gift when we first met.
2) I bought his assessment book which was lying with me for a long time.
3) He went overseas for 2 weeks.
4) His father is upset over new schedule (5.30-7.30 comparing to 4.30-6.30) although we set the schedule temporary last year. He said I should be the one accommodating to his timing and do not give him pressure. In fact, I even told my tutee we would set the schedule again once school begins for both of us. Anyway, I dropped my UE which is meant for my minor and planned my timetable specially for him (venue lousy, timing lousy).
5) He cancelled the tuition as that was a public holiday & made me gone a wasted trip.
6) He cancelled it again when the next day he needed to fly off early.
7) He cancelled it again & again coz the next day he's going to have an integrated program briefing. When I requested to teach again for after 1.5-month gap, he said he could only confirm with me tomorrow if his briefing ends early.
8) Subsequently, he cancelled it again claiming the next day he has a CCA meeting.
9) Today, he cancelled it again last minute in the morning, although I’ve messaged him yesterday to remind him the tuition, saying that he will have a Founder’s day rehearsal.
10) He also took a long time to answer me whether he needs tuition during Chinese New Year week.
LIKE THAT HOW TO TEACH!!!
