Disappointed

Sara is lovely, funny person, she knows what she is teaching, She was teaching my two children Pedro and Maria, but unfortunately we had an inconvenience, in one of the sessions She did confuse Maria with Pedro, and accused my children of doing prank with her, I asked her to be able to go back to the zoom meeting, so I (Pamila) and She can clarify everything, because for me that was not a big problem, She did not act like a professional teacher, She did not want to talk to me on zoom, She send me this message" NO, THANK YOU. I WISH YOU LUCK IN FINDING A NEW TUTOR TO HELP EITHER ONE OF THEM. WITH ALL RESPECT, THEY ARE OLD ENOUGH NOT TO NEED A PARENT TO KNOW HOW TO BEHAVE FOR THESE SESSIONS. I RESPECTFULLY DECLINE" It was UNPROFESSIONAL the way She confused It.
