Hello peeps!.. I just love saying that. So anyways I was suppose to teach tuition today. But then the father decided to cancel the lesson for today. Like hello, I’m not the one affected at the end of the day. The more lesson cancel the more homework I have to give to his daughter. I mean like what the eff? If I can recall, I have only cancelled 2 lesson so he decided to up the stakes and cancel 6 lesson. Which if u add up both numbers, its equivalent to 1 month. Its 2 month and I have yet to finish the last lesson. As for a student like me, I m still able to handle my cool and not break into a tantrum which I really feel like doing right now. Basic financial planning, once u get your pay, u set aside amount of money to pay to different outlet such as services and goods. Setting aside money will prevent such incidents like this ( pushing the 8th lesson forward for 4 weeks).
Honestly, it has been a very frustrating month for me. Since I m not employed, that is my only source of income and to keep doing that is just to test my patience. At least when I cancelled lesson, I had the initiative to call a day or 2 earlier unless it was an emergency which I would have to call hours before the start of the tuition. But the father of my tutee prefer to sms me 1 hours so before the start of the lesson. Like come on, how many times does an emergency pops every week of the entire month during my tuition slot? Coincidence my foot! He told me last week to bring forward last week Wednesday lesson to this week Monday. And today he told me that my tutee can’t make it today and changes it on Thursday. When will it end? I don’t mind just wipe my hand clean from this family tuition needs. Just because I feel bad for the daughter that the school is so EFF up, I was willing enough to stay on until October where I would start my SIP which will also coincide with the end of the primary school semester. They can’t seem to remember that I offered my services when 3 other tutors did not want to show up to teach their daughter.
So basically to all you people who will one day have children and will require tutors, please! I repeat, PLEASE! Get the fee for the tuition teacher ready on time. They have kept their end of the bargain, and so should you. Be honest with the tutor, they would understand and would accommodate to your situation. No one is that heartless. But by keeping the other party in the dark, u will only get one extremely frustrated tutor who builds an opinion around the parents incompetence to pay someone to teach THEIR child and help the child to compete academically with all the other students around him/her.
Blog soon ya!
