They insisted that their daughter stay after school three days a week to do extra tutoring with me even though she was already at the top of the class and did not need the extra help. they would also email me several times during the day wanting updates on how their daughter was doing. This was eating up huge portions of my time that I needed to spend with other students who need extra help. What would be a good way to deal with this situation. Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) For pushy parents, I agree with the first solution. Being firm and setting strict times that the parents can inquire about their child/receive updates as well as times you're willing to tutor their child will make them feel like you're respecting their beliefs about their child and are willing to help their child succeed.
