Story 8 - Tutors/Parents who do not reply

Dear tuition coordinators, have you ever encountered such a situation before: You found a suitable tutor after putting in loads of effort only to realise that you cannot get in touch with the parents. By the time you managed to contact the parents, they have already engaged the services of another tuition coordinator. How wasted!

Now, if it was just the parents alone who do not reply, the tuition coordinator is considered to be a lucky one. This is because I have also experienced before, the feeling of being ignored by a tutor. Of course, I understand that sometimes, when tutors do not reply, it could probably be that they are still having lessons. However, some of them do not reply at all, not even a sms, at the end of the day! At times, I really do wonder, does it really harm to sms a simple reply of either yes or no? Nonetheless, tutors still continue to get back to you only when it is too late. As a result, you fail to clinch the deal and end up disappointing the tutor.


Therefore, I hereby call out to all parents and tutors to kindly reply the poor tuition coordinators as fast as possible. Just like parents/tutors requesting for our efficiency, we would also need a prompt reply from parents/tutors to proceed on with our work. Thus, next time when you receive a sms/call from the tuition coordinator, please get back to her as soon as possible. With that, I will end here.

Thank you for taking your precious time to read through this blog entry.
