They might be! Which makes it even more of a shame that they used an app whose intent was to help students audit classes where they have a gender ratio opportunity.

If this person sent an email to the class group offering their services and coached folks without seeing their gender or appearance, I would applaud them, and I’d be more than happy to support whoever they met through that.

But my guess is, that’s not the situation here. Would love to be wrong.

The crux of the issue is if the behavior of these students harms the learning environment in any other way. For example, raising their hand to answer a question every opportunity they get meaning fewer of the typical students get to answer and learn from [their] mistakes, or running these private tutoring sessions then giving up if no attractive women show up / giving the women they're interested in way more attention. It also isn't a good look if they're bad at teaching and use the tutoring session to just do peoples' homework for them.
