How do I choose a tutor for my child?

Answer 1

Choosing a private tutor is as important as choosing the correct school for your child. I would like to help you with the questions that you can ask to the probable tutor and yourself as a parent that can pinpoint the best tutor for your child.

To yourself:

1. Do I need tutoring for my child to improve in school or to learn the language for another situation?
2. Did the teacher or school mention the need for tutoring or is it a decision taken by the parent or studente?
3. How many hours per week can we commit as a family to be present in class and avoid cancelling classes or avoid distractions during class?

For the tutor:

1. Which age group have you tutored most?
2. Have you taught in schools or only tutoring? .
3. My child needs to improve Grammar/Vocabulary/Writing/Reading, how can you help my child with this?
4. How any hours and days per week do you recommend taking class to reach the goal/goals?
5. How do you want me to be involved with my child's tutoring?
6. Do you need any information from the school/teacher about my child?

I hope these questions help you have a better perspective of which type of questions can help you choose the best tutor for your child.

Answer 2

Hello,

To echo what Robin said: you can reach out to tutors directly or post tutoring jobs here on WyzAnt yourself for qualified tutors to apply to themselves. I am also available to tutor your child if you would like to contact me directly to tell me more about what you would like for your child and I would be happy to help you and your child out in anyway that I can academically/instructionally.

Identify what your child weakness is and what they are struggling with and think of a goal of where you want them to be. Once you have those answers, find a tutor who is proficient in the subject(s) their needing help in, don't be afraid to ask them questions about their teaching style, references, etc... to see if they will be a good fit for you and your child.
