This review is misleading and doesn’t reflect the actual situation. The classes were scheduled for 1.5 hours, and payment was made accordingly. Despite that, I was often pressured to extend sessions beyond the agreed time without any additional payment, which is neither fair nor professional. I took a short leave for 4-5 days due to genuine personal reasons including a leg sprain and the passing of a close family member. No tutor should be expected to work while unwell or during a personal tragedy. Every missed class was compensated later, and I have clear proof of that. I never used my mobile during class hours she herself used to check regularly and clearly knows this fact. Yet, she’s now choosing to raise false allegations, which is disappointing and unfair. I’ve always respected the value of teaching and learning and would never misuse that time. The only reason I discontinued the tuition was due to this woman’s constant pressure and unrealistic expectations, which created a stressful and unhealthy teaching environment. I clearly informed her in advance through text before ending the classes. I’m currently teaching other students who are completely satisfied with my commitment, discipline, and teaching quality. Yes, I may be doing this part-time or for pocket money, but I do it with sincerity and professionalism. We’re not doing anything wrong. I stand by my values of fairness, professionalism, and respectful communication.
