That's good to hear that you've been marketing it in a way that discourages parents from using it as free babysitting, or worse, punishment! I hope that you can manage to keep it that way. Every source of free tutoring I've ever been involved with has quickly devolved into more or less free babysitting for the worst kind of parents.

I wonder if a 'karma' system is possible by which students and tutors could give positive feedback to one another and students could 'unlock' highly rated tutors and visa versa. As someone who has spent a fair amount of time tutoring students (when I was a student myself, admittedly) I can certainly say that tutoring an unappreciative student will quickly sour the experience for a lot of folks, even if the majority are appreciative.
