So Im tutoring high school kids, I had one new girl last week that I saw, everything seemed to go fine. However I get told by the company that her mum said that they want someone different. Her mum was really picky, she pretty much interogated me on the phone, she kept asking if I thought I would be capable, I kept saying yes it will be fine.
I think she misinterpreted me, I am pretty easy going and laid back and she is picky, uptight and stressed. I think she misinterpreted this as me not really caring about her daughter. Even though I do care, but she is only paying $25 an hour and this is not my fulltime job, she knows I go to uni full time so she cant expect me to be an expert in English, I can just do the best I can, which is what I try to do.
By the way where I live $25 an hour is not much for a tutor, most will charge $50 an hour.
Anyway my question is can people misinterperate being easy going as not caring or capable of handling something?

I believe some people do make that kind of connection. They look at someone chilled out and assume they are lazy or stupid. Typically it is Type A people like the mom you described who do this, from my own experience. If someone isn't exactly like they are, then they are somehow 'inferior'. Clearly, this is an a*s*s backward way of thinking.

Yes they could but that will keep you from having to deal with the picky ones so go on be yourself.

Yes they can. Are you capable of handling rejection?
