Choosing the right tutor
Start by talking with your student and their teacher. This will help you
to ascertain exactly what difficulties your student is having. Knowing
exactly what the problem is will help you to find a tutor that is the
right fit.
The success of a tutoring program depends on your student, so get their
opinions and input so that they are part of the process.
Once you have established your student’s needs, contact your local
Tutor Doctor for a list of tutors in your area. Ensure that the tutors have the right
qualifications to teach your student. Ask about their experience levels
and what experience they have with the grade your student is in and the
kinds of problems they are having.
Work with your student, teachers and tutor to set very clear goals. Ensure
that the academic goals are realistic and achievable.
If the tutor isn’t a good fit for your student, feel free to ask
for a different tutor. Getting the right tutor will exponentially improve
your student’s performance.
