Wynter is receiving - or, rather, is supposed to receive - a school funded tutor. We started the application process in January.
In mid-March, I got a call from the tutoring company the SD contracted with asking what areas Wynter needs help with and then I got a call from the tutor. She asked what time we preferred - we said afternoon - and she said she was also going to be working with another family, she would get everything coordinated and email within a day or two and we could get started later that week (this conversation was on a Sunday).
I didn't get the email until Thursday of that week and she could do mornings on either Tuesday or Thursday. I already had a doctor's appointment that Tuesday morning so I chose Thursdays. I wasn't thrilled with the time as Wynter doesn't perform well that early, but we could make do.
Then, that Wednesday evening I get an email from the tutor and due to babysitting scheduling those times won't work and she'll need to do either Mon or Wed from 5pm to 7pm. I told her to pick one and we'll go with it, completely forgetting that Wynter has guitar lessons on Mondays at 7. But, we could work around that. The lessons are here in town - 5 minute drive.
So, after we started this process in mid-January, we finally have a tutor on March 17. She had Wynter do an assessment and that's it. She left saying she would be back the following Monday and hopefully the assessment would be graded and she would have tutoring materials.
Last Monday, we're waiting and waiting. Finally at 5:30, I emailed her after I couldn't find her phone number. I asked her if I had the wrong day. She responded and said that she had emailed me earlier and that it must not have gone through and that she couldn't make it. That was it. Hmmm.
The next day I get an email from her stating she would like to come on Wednesday to make up the tutoring. Fine. Then I get an email from her on Wednesday saying she couldn't make it.
Now, I don't check my email every day and when I do check it, it's usually late at night.
So, she was supposed to be here today. Since it hasn't worked out, I checked my email. Sure enough there is one from her. Only this one states that she will no longer be tutoring and she forgot to have me sign her time sheet and she's going to send it to me with an SASE and, oh by the way, can you give me your address because I've lost it. And I hope you find another tutor soon.
And, of course, the tutoring agency hasn't contacted me so now I have to try to track them down. This started in January. The tutoring only runs through May. It's now April. I'm so frustrated.
And this lady just got hired with this tutoring company. We were her first clients. I was excited about her because she has her bachelors in pysch and is going for her masters in sped and works M-W-F with an ABA therapist doing intensive homeschooling with an Autistic child.
