Tears of Anguish


I can't believe I am crying over this fucking asshole who just insulted my professionalism and capabilities. Having 9 students in hand right now since April with only ONE unsucessful case. This ONE fucking unsuccessful case is of such:


This is a p3 girl I took in in April. She is my 2nd student when I tried carving out a career in tutoring. Her mum's a teacher, yet she claimed she can't coach her own daughter. Her daughter's results are, as a matter-of-fact, plain LOUSY. She's failing her EMS. I still remember I was new and I was stressed over how to pull her grades up. She's a really tough girl to teach, considering

1) She NEVER opens her "GOLDEN" mouth. I never knew whether she really understood what I was teaching or not. Of course, I have given my feedback to her mum. And her mum's reaction was a mere: *Turn to girl* and, "Ting dao le mei you?"

2) She throws her tantrums right infront of her mum & I. She literally sits back and gives her black face, REFUSING to do anything.

3) She talks back to her mum right infront of me when her mum "scolds" her.

One conclusion I drew. She's an ultra LOW class spoilt BRAT.


I thought of giving her up after the 2nd lesson. But I thought about it and I really wanted to help her. So I told myself that I would not give her up anyhow. Yet, on the 3rd lesson, when I went, they were apparently home (I could hear cooking) but they refused to not answer the door. The doorbell was spoilt and I had to knock on the ultra hard door which makes my knock sound superbly soft. I knocked a whole 30mins till my knuckles were really pain and red. I called both the student and mum's mobile but none answered. Then I left when I was assured they were never going to open the door. Called the agency umpteen times, yet all I get was a "The Singtel customer that you've called, is not available. Please, try again later" and a no reply. When I finally got this asshole, named Andy, he simply pushed me off by saying he THINK the parent did called to say she wanted a change of tutor and that the agency wouldn't know anything, it would be the PARENT who should communicate with me since we were the ones seeing each other often. FINE so I was hanging there in the middle not having any direction as to WHO THE FUCK I should go to.
(PS: Pls bear in mind he said he THINK the parent did call to request for a change of tutor. There was a tone of uncertainty in he's voice.)


Soo, according to the terms & conditions that I have agreed with this agency called SG Home Tutors (website: www.recruit247.com.sg), it is stated in the Termination Policy clause:

*If the student/parent terminated the tutor's services within a month, tuition fees payable to the tutor will be pro-rated based on the hours performed. However the agency reserves the right not to pay the tutor if termination of service is due to the conduct or behavior of the tutor deemed improper by the agency (eg dishonesty, falsified qualifications, consistently late)

So, apparently Andy DID NOT get back to me and I had no time to deal with this matter till recently. If you realised, it has been almost 2 mths. And so, it is finally settled and he transferred a freaking $18 to me for 2 lessons. First of all, the amount ain't right. Secondly, I expected to be paid for the 3rd lesson since BOTH feckless parties did not have the lease bit of courtesy to inform me, thus causing me to make a trip down. I called Andy up to clarify, and he told me off to calculate myself that for 2 lessons after 50% commission to agency, its 18. Of course, I had to pursue my 3rd lesson matter. He started to raise he's voice back at me saying it is NONE of their business anymore and that if there is anything else I wanted to pursue, go straight to the parent. In fact, he continued, saying the parent complained that I said some STUPID things to her daughter and that my service was purely BAD. Andy sounded oh-so-great that he is not even pursuing this matter of me NOT performing my duties and that now I am calling him so often to pester him with all MY NONSENSE. Hey people, in the first place, who was the one who wasn't even sure of he's cases that he THINK the parent did call to request a change of tutor. In the first place WHO was the one who was ultimately a feckless bastard who did not bother to close the case for 2 whole fucking mths?!

I told him the truth, that other agencies would constantly call me up every now and then if there are any feedbacks from the parents. (Both good and bad was what I meant) And guess what? Let me quote him for you: "Oh? So you have other assignments from other agencies as well and you FLUNG all of them as well?" wtf?

So what now? Its only a couple of dollars which I am NOT hard-up for. Its the lack of responsibility that I'm having an issue here. Yet, he says it's MY nonsense and he had to insult my capabilities? If you were responsible, WHY didn't u call me up to ask me bout what the parent told you? Oh did you FORGET? Or are you plain LAZY and COULDN'T-BE-BOTHERED? You did not even seek my side of the story and you had the cheek to throw accuses at your tutors. Not only that, you did not even follow up on your cases! & Lastly, not being your tutor anymore does not give you any fucking right to insult my capabilities. What kind of a fucking agency is this? And YOU alone, what kind of a bastard son-of-a-bitch are YOU??

All my students were fine and parents are always happy with my performance. Why is it only YOURS?! Even if I were to have a bad attitude, shouldn't that happen to my other 9 students in hand now? But y not? Even if I were to have a bad attitude, this girl is my 2nd, common sense, would I have the guts to under perform at that point? I was so new, of course naturally every single one would do their best. Unless YOU are otherwise, so YOU think people are just like you.


You know what? The last thing that I can accept in my life is for people to throw accuses at me without even hearing me out first. And worst, for your case, not only YOU accused me, YOU insulted my dignity, pride and abilities. ALL on accord of your FECKLESS behaviour and YOUR BAD ATTITUDE. For god's sake, check out the mirror and reflect on YOUR own attitude before you insult others. NOT everyone is like YOU. This matter is not going to end here. Trust me, I WILL bring the name of your agency down. Everyone pays a price for their actions. And you?

You've just messed around with the wrong girl.
