She doesn't know what she is talking about!!! ;-)

Absolutely disgraceful comments (which I've heard that she has now withdrawn). 

Firstly, she should've engaged her brain.
Secondly, I challenge this silly woman to come and see what I do. I have a skill, which would be wasted if I didn't teach. It means that I've taught hundreds of children to read, write, spell..but more importantly, I have built their self esteem, which enables them to go forward in their lives with greater confidence. Every child who comes to me, comes in with a smile and leaves me with a smile. We are talking about one hour a week of good, quality teaching,in a lively and stimulating environment. This woman needs to wise up, get out and take look at the bigger picture of private tutoring. It's far more positive than negative. I'm sick and tired of narrow minded people, casting judgement on private tutors; labelling them all with the same 'money making' tag and then using the, 'It's not fair as not everyone can afford it' excuse. I'm standing up for all hard working private tutors who make a massive difference to many children's lives...and it's about time someone stood up and said it!
