Well I would reply but I hate Math, and children and scammers.

This one's pretty common. A few people have actually responded!

The biggest idiocy about it is - the family purport to be in the UK. Why the 'need' to import a teacher?

Also, the mistakes they make in their English are not typical of speech patterns for a French speaker. Also, they use very American slang like laid-back and easy going, not usually something students at that level know, and not expressions I have heard much from Brits. I actually got this one myself, and just had a good laugh.
