take for example the 10 year old that im currently tutoring.
tries to climb over my head and even demanded for gifts when she had not been doing her work well.
i set 18 pages for her to do.
she cancelled my words and called the shots on her own by writing, "so many, pg 1-7 enough"
i told myself to calm down when i saw it and told myself, "ya la, maybe she really very stressed."
but when i flipped the pages of the book and realised she did NOTHING even after cancelling my instructions and coming up with hers (without consulting me), i stopped coming up with excuses for her.
back to the gift thingy.
since she asked for it, i set a challenge for her: if she managed to improve 10 marks and above for her math, i'll buy what she asked.
she messaged me a few hours ago saying "you can buy the present for me already. because, i got 56.5 for my maths."
(she failed her maths and only got 40 plus the previous time)
then she texted again to say, " just buy me hello kitty food and milkshake."
without a word of thanks.
best part of all, im only charging 120/mth and her mom happily asked me to video call her daughter to go through with her again what she had forgotten, and rudely texted me a one word "hello?" when i didnt reply the message as my phone had died.
