A part-time tutor who assaulted an eight-year-old pupil he was teaching after she gave wrong answers was sentenced to four days’ jail...

Some of Teo’s acts were captured on a closed-circuit television camera installed in the room.

Her father initially thought she was simply being dramatic. But he decided to observe her next lesson with Teo through the CCTV camera. He also grabbed her neck and pushed her head downwards. The girl sustained a bruise on her left arm and cried. Teo, who was not represented by a lawyer, told the court on Wednesday that he had lost control while teaching the girl, whom he described as a very slow pupil and that her level of understanding was at the “kindergarten level”.
