Tutoring

I'm actually tutoring an accelerated Physics girl atm. Which is kinda cool, except that she goes to a Catholic, co-ed private school.

The point is not the religiosity [that's actually a word?] but the fact that in this particular instance, the teacher's really disorganised.

It's pretty fun teaching her, just that her mother's a little...stingy?

It's a bit annoying.

I don't want to be having a discount every week. I should explain.

Normally I charge $X per hour, usually under the presumption it's a 1 hour weekly service,  and so on.

First lesson with this student, I go 1/2 an hour overtime, and then decide, screw it, $X times 1.5, minus $5 is ok.

I get home, and her mother [who's paying me] tells me that 1.5 hours next week for that reduced fee is ok.

And I'm like "........Nooo it's not ok..."

But I dunno how to tell her that. I mean, I don't want to offend her or anything. Hrmm..

I mean, I charged less because it's the first lesson and less is being taught. I swear - next time I might as well charge the full fee. :(

I'm thinking of calling tomorrow and explaining that it's the first lesson, etc. etc. and that I don't give discounts and it's a pretty good rate, etc.

Sigh, problems.

Year 12 physics... feels weird to be doing it again.

Especially M+G. Remember that?

Her exam's in March. Soo...kinda annoying.

Hoping you guys might be able to help.
