Harassment by teacher

My friend's sister is studying in 11th class and one of her teachers is threatening her to fail her if she doesn’t join his coaching. He also passes remarks on her but she's afraid to complain because of her academics. She does not want to join her coaching. What can she do to get out of this situation?
