[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I explicitly ask my clients not to share my contact information on Facebook/parenting groups. The one time someone shared my info on Facebook, I had dozens of people contact me and it led to zero actual clients, but wasted at least a dozen hours of my time. So many people who were really flaky or were "outraged" at my market-rate prices. I don't want to deal with that again, I am referral only and those referrals must be vetted.[/quote]

OP here - thank you for sharing, seriously. I can see I dodged a bullet.

[b]And FYI, if most people can't afford your prices, you're not market-rate. You're an elitist who chooses to work with the wealthiest families. This is unethical, because all kids deserve a chance to do activities or have a tuto[/b]r. It's a free market, so you choose the prices you set - just be honest and own your choices.

As a parent, I've had several experiences with teachers who only work with the "right" families. I naively thought that elite / expensive = better, but I've learned my lesson and now I steer clear.

This is so entitled I can’t believe you’re serious. Your child has plenty of opportunity to do activities for an affordable price in this area, that’s what Rec activities are for. Your child does not “deserve” whatever tutor you want at whatever price you want to pay— unless you think the tutors children are supposed to go without so your child can have more?[/quote]
