Story 2 - Thanks for your efforts!

As promised, this entry will be about the pleasant encounters of a tuition coordinator. Ever been to a restaurant and tip the waiter/waitress for his/her good service? Yes, tuition coordinators need tips once in a blue moon as well to keep their morale and spirit up high. Except that our tips are in the form of testimonials and simple thank yous from parents. There was once when I called a parent to find out how was the tutor at the 1st lesson. To which the parent replied with delight, "Thanks Red, my child likes the tutor very much. Thanks for asking too." That was all it took to brighten my day despite the many problems which followed.

Actually, as a tuition coordinator, I do not ask for much. All I wish for is some appreciation shown for my efforts at times. Indeed the commission should be my reward but how about those times when we are unable to service the parent well enough? No job is too easy and this is the case for tuition coordinators as well. However, with a little motivation every now and then, we will hang in there to extend our services to the masses. Thank you.
