This is a very odd situation to let your home teacher live with you. Why can't you go to regular school? It's not appropriate for her to spank you or put hot sauce in your mouth - this is abuse. Some people are allergic to hot sauce and what if it got in your eyes? Is your father involved with this lady? Tell your father exactly how she's treating you. Call 911 if she touches you again and I don't think she's the right person to teach you. I think it would be better to go to school than be alone with an abusive person.
