Need some advice. I’ve been working with a student for about two years. She’s told me whenever she’s tried a new tutor because I’m away, she’s had a bad experience.

Her reading comprehension is quite good but speaking, vocab and grammar are severely lacking. She now wants me to prep her for ielts, but I only prep Cambridge.

She’s super sweet and we’ve built a friendship, but classes have become tedious because she wants to do the ielts speaking intensive course now and she just doesn’t have the level for it. I've told her that, but she still wants to do those lessons. Before we’d just do chats and that was fine, but the last two weeks have been a drain.

What would you do?
