How would you feel if she started charging you for everything she does for you?
You don't charge family anything.

Yea tutor her for free, it won't kill you but she's doing her HSC and so probably doesn't have much $. So just be nice. Get your money by tutoring someone else as well. It won't take that long and it will bond you and keep u connected. Sorry to sound like Oprah but if you get along well, tutoring your sister can be fun - it was fun for me and I learnt some stuff too that I never understood before or forgot. We laughed a lot because of my unorthodox methods.

don't tutor siblings unless you're very close

Just get your parents to pay, therefore everyone wins. You get to go out and your sister gets tutored.

I don't tutor my sister because she doesn't take it seriously and sometimes we end up talking about other stuff since she's getting "free" tutor lol. Usually if there's money or older people involved it would definitely make her take it more seriously lol...

Don't charge her at all if you tutor her.

But only tutor her if it won't strain her relationship... i've known of a few siblings who have gotten into massive fights over tutoring =="

You're an idiot if you charge your sis.
Qft.

And why was this shit thread even made? Isn't it common sense not to charge? Once I'm done with my HSC, I plan to accelerate my sister so she can top all of her subjects.

You must be joking? Where is your responsibility toward members of your own family? The most you could ask is that your sister introduces a girl friend. I suppose you would rather tutor a girlfriend than your own sister.

Good sense! But don't expect that is going to happen. You will be swamped with Uni work. You won't even have time to do your chores that your mum would expect you to. Your sister might not fit your learning style ... It's easier said than done.

You could do that :p

But in all seriousness, you shouldn't do something for your family and expect something in return. After I finish my HSC, I'll gladly tutor my sister and any member of my family for free.

When people start charging their family for favours, you know selflessness is coming to be non existent.

Seriously, dude. Your sister? She's family. Maybe your mum should turn around and ask you for all the money you've costed her your whole life until this point. This includes all the babysitting hours at standard rate? ;)
