              In this time and age, even female tutors may no longer be safe. Sigh.

              After a while, one may just have to learn to both trust in the basic good of mankind and yet keep both an eye and a ear open!

                if tutoring at home in an open area eg. dining room and with another adult at home, should be quite okay I think

                  true true...so i always remind kids that tutors are hired to coach them in their education...anything out of context, LET ME KNOW.

                    no offence to tutors, but as parents who rely on tutors to provide backup for kids, we need to assess tutors with great care. those who are dishonest, unprofessional or simply cannot teach, they should be sacked.

                      Why should we add the qualifier \"no offence to tutors\"? Even if we are offended, so? The customer has a right to an agreed-upon quality at the price paid for. If I hire a contractor to clean my air-con and they do not do a good job, do we apologise to them for their poor job?

                      On the other hand, my peeve are agents who tell me to \"lower my rates\" so I can get more assignments.

                        there are indeed dedicated tutors who really perform a wonderful job…but it’s a pity some dishonest and so-called professional ones who ruined the kids’ lives…sometimes these tutors play out at crucial moments, for eg near exams. so parents, believe your kids since you know them well.
