Today in Hong Kong I passed the exercises that I had printed out for Mrs. N's son and gave them to my friend who had spoken to Mrs. N about taking over for me.
My friend also had gotten some run around but is supposed to meet them tomorrow.
I now officially wash my hands of this annoying woman!!
Lesson learned: only deal with the kids themselves. That way you have some control and you know that they actually want the help; it is not just something their parents are throwing money at!

Mrs. N update
Today in Hong Kong Mrs. N calls me out of the blue to discuss tutoring for her son.
What? It has been 2 months since the son was supposed to send me an essay!
I already have a job and I can tell this woman is going to be a pain.
I tell her I have a friend who can work with her son.
Again she says she wants some exercises.
I say I can meet her and her son on Saturday to give him some exercises, determine his level, etc. so that I can pass this on to my less experienced friend.
She wants to meet Sunday.
