The Teacher's Request for Personal Matters from the Student

Question
A Tajweed teacher asked her student to teach her a subject in which she specializes, is this considered the teacher using the student for her personal needs?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: The teacher who teaches students religious matters - and usually does so for the sake of Allah - is not prevented from demanding personal matters from these students; because serving him is an obligation upon them in respect for him, and Allah knows best.
