Question to tutors out there, have you ever rejected a student because you considered them to be 'not good enough'?
From what I have read of some of the tutoring schools in Sydney, is they have rejected students (or put them in lower classes) because they were deemed not good enough and may harm the reputation of the school. (At the end of the day its all about rankings, statistics , prestige of the company etc)
For me I don't have my choice as a tutor, I think I have learnt accept every one of them as I've come along. I've just recently accepted a student (had about 8 lessons with him so far) who scored 23.75% in his half-yearly exams in General Maths and I sometimes see it as a 'challenge' to be able to bring him to a Band 5 or 6 in the short amount of time. (its a bit different with university level tutoring as you learn to reject the tasks that you can't do or accept the ones you can do)
