My son is exactly the same - thinks he is going to land a job where he doesn't have to do any work but get paid lot$ ... and told me he will be rich when I am poor in the retirement home ! I have heard of paying them ... or actually not paying like a homework swear jar ... if they do it without being nagged - money goes in it - if not it goes to a proposed 'tutoring' fund jar when the reports come out.
