A young Chinese tutor has apologized for pinching the butts of two young children during English classes at their home, the Xinmin Evening News reported.

The tutor, in his late 20s, who had studied abroad, started tutoring for a 10-year-old boy and a 9-year-old girl. He charged 300 yuan ($49.01) for the two-hour class he taught every day.

Three days into the lesson, however, the mother, surnamed Jiang, found bruises on her children's thighs. The children said the tutor often pinched their butts and ears.

"If the children were misbehaving, he could have just told us, instead of pinching them," Jiang told the Xinmin Evening News.

Jiang said she will personally supervise any lessons her children have with other tutors.

The teacher has apologized and offered compensation to the family, according to the tutoring website, which claimed the man was only a part-time tutor and the website would only introduce him adult students in the future.
