This entry is definitely familiar to many tutors and tuition coordinators. Think about it, have there been times when you are tempted to lie so as to close the case/get hired by the parent? For me, the answer is simply yes. Most of the time, parents will request for experienced tutors but sometimes, it is really difficult to find one that fits the bill nicely. The tutors who are experienced might not be satisfied with the rate or are willing to travel the extra mile. On the other hand, the tutors who are keen to take up the assignment have either no experience or little experience. At this point of time, you would probably be thinking to yourself, "How about just exaggerating about the years of experience the tutors have actually?"
Of course, another side of you would be trying to abolish this thought because it is not the right thing to do. So which side emerges as the final winner is dependable on your determination to resist the temptation. I understand it is hard to resist sometimes but I always make sure I do because I believe in trust between the coordinators and parents. Also, there is always the risk of being found out by the parent and you might have just successfully destroyed the good image in the parents' mind. Lying might enable us to close case/get hired more easily but I would rather not take this risk because honesty is our best policy. Do you agree?

Would there be a situation when you are unable to find a match? What would you tell the parent then? Will that spoil your reputation? (haha my now, you can tell I'm a great fan of your blog!)
