STOMPer Chloe's friend was called a bitch by
her ex-tutor in a series of rude text messages to her, which also
contained other derogatory and insulting remarks.
The STOMPer recounts the unpleasant exchange between her friend and
her ex-tutor:
"I was taken aback when my friend called me and said her ex-tutor,
a 30-year-old male, called her a bitch. He is a teacher after all,
he should set a good example.
"This happened last night (5 Sept) when the tutor texted my friend
asking her if she had transferred the money for a lesson in
August.
"My friend had already deposited a cheque of $70 into his account
on 31st Aug.
"To which he replied, ‘even if u wanna underpay, dun do it so
obviously la.’
"He charged $35/hour, my friend paid $70 for two hours/ a lesson.
She did not underpay him at all.
"Annoyed, she replied ‘oh, maybe your part-time job is being a debt
collector?’ as a joke because her ex-tutor will call her or her
house number asking for payment every few days.
"With that, the tutor then bombarded her with texts calling her a
‘full- time bitch’, repeatedly calling her ‘dumb’ and used words
like ‘shit’.
"Shocked that her ex-tutor actually called her a bitch, she texted
him back and explained that it was his duty to teach her well and
that she failed her tests because he did not have the ability to
teach her.
"Again, his replies were full of insults and and he called her
‘dumb’ and ‘useless’.
"My friend also mentioned to me that during their lessons, he will
be texting on his phone non-stop or reading a magazine. I think
that is so irresponsible of him, she paid him to teach!
"Students out there, please be careful when you look for a
tutor."
