I saw you post earlier and thought someone would get back to you. Seeing that no one has... here's my 2 cents.

I have also been asked to do this and haven't formally accepted.

I usually take the stance that any mother/father asking to learn English with their child is not really serious about learning. I usually tell them that parents are always allowed to sit in on their kid's lessons. They can get what they can from the lesson but if they really want to learn at an adult pace we can have a separate class afterwards.

I run my own school so business first. I try to get the child's class going first. Then if the parents is really interested he/she will join an adult class.

So, far that hasn't happened.

So, if you are looking for the business/pocket money, say "Yes. Sure. You got it. Come on Tuesday. We'll fit you right in." Then, teach the child and have the mom/dad sit in the back, (or they can join in and do just as the Romans do.)
