    I can think of a number of ways to put "A" off. "I don't have time right now" comes to mind; "I dont' feel comfortable being your tutor" is another.
    I hope you can change the focus of this relationship. You might also tell her that you can barely do your own work, it's hard for you to do hers too.
    What do you want from your friends? Tell them.

    When I was in grad school, they were big on having us work in teams of 3 or 4 on all projects; sort of a built-in study group.

    We finally had to fire one of our teammates due to her failure to produce anything of use or value in the first 6 weeks of the class. She had lots of crazy excuses as to why she could not participate. The other 3 of us went to the professor and explained the situation and said we could not/would not tolerate this any longer, and we fired her. He was on board with that. I think she had to drop that class, and may have dropped out of the program - but it was a long time ago and I just don't remember.
