I teach private art lessons. How do I handle a “ex” student who keeps emailing me with personal updates?
I gave three virtual art lessons to a student. She said that she loved the lessons, but had to stop due to health reasons. She mentioned that she would like to continue with me in the future. I said - great - keep in touch. Well - she has certainly kept in touch! She emails me weekly updates on her health. As a human being I care - BUT - I only had three lessons with this woman and she continues to email me health updates with not even a mention of future lessons. I feel taken advantage of but as a small business owner I feel like I should keep the door open in case she wants more lessons. Ignoring her seems cruel - but continuing to email without compensation seems like she is taking advantage of my time. Helppp
