A female private tutor, Lau Jing Yee, is getting three months jail time and two years suspension for fraud.
The 30-year-old Lau told several parents she was previously a teacher at the Band 1 Cheung Sha Wan Catholic Secondary School. She persuaded parents to engage in her English tuition services by offering them extremely attractive, cheap tuition fees.
However, after class she would bargain for more money, for example she’d ask for HK$2,200 instead of the previously agreed HK$400. With one parent, she managed to get HK$15,600 for three hours.
In total, six parents were cheated by Lau.
