feeling a little troubled over my tutee. actually today her mum called me to ask if i felt dat having her daughter & her friend tutoring together was benefitting them or otherwise. i told her it seems quite ok..but it's inevitable dat they will sometimes digress & chat about other stuffs. but act my main concern is dat letting them haf tuition together at my tutee's place might be encouraging them to spend more time slacking together coz her friend can haf e excuse of going over to my tutee's place earlier b4 tuition starts or stay on at her place after tuition is over.

well her mum's reason for calling me up is coz she noticed her daughter's grades r dropping again. act there was a period of time when she was more motivated to study. but now coz it's her adolescence period, so i guess she's distracted over BGR stuffs which in turn affects her studies.

i haf really considered dropping her..& even my parents think dat if i really cant handle her, i shld juz drop her instead of wasting her parent's money & my time. but then there's e emotional attachment..afterall i've been tutoring her for 2 yrs plus..& of course i hope to see sth cum out of my yrs of committment..at least see her graduate & hopefully go into a polytechnic. i also dun wish to disappoint her mum who does not blame me for her daughter's poor grades. her mum act told me dat she has asked her daughter izzit she doesnt wish to haf tuition anymore but her reply was a no, & dat she still wanted me to teach her.

well, juz one word - 烦

wat am i supposed to do to change her attitude & help her improve in her studies? i guess i can only take a step at a time & see how things go..probably find a chance to really talk to her bout it..provided dat she will listen.

as for now, i hafta get tis troubling problem out of my mind & work on my assignments dat r waiting to be done as well as prepare for my mid-term test tis fri. stressed.

ok probably after enjoying my mum's fried noodles for dinner..i will feel better=)
