I'm currently tutoring an 11th grader in Chemistry after a few tutors failed before me. My student's parent constantly sends me emails praising my efforts and thanks me for what I've done for their child. The thing is, the parent is a dean at a medical school (part of the dean's office, its in the parent's official title, deliberately being vague in order to preserve anonymity). I've been asking parents of previous students to write recommendation letters so that my office can compile snippets to send to my university for my application this cycle. Should I ask this parent to write a short recommendation as well? Maybe even separately? I'm applying to the school this parent works at, so I'm not sure whether this would create a conflict of interest, etc... Thoughts?
