4 Ways To Locate A Good Home Tutor
Finding a good tutor for your child can be like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Some of the criteria I was looking for in a tutor with my own son were these:
I wanted a tutor whom my son would relate with.
He was at an impressionable age and I wanted to make sure his tutor would instill good core values in him.
I wanted a tutor who was committed to the times we agreed upon on a regular basis, so we could count on them.
My son was lacking in self-esteem because he felt so frustrated in school, so I wanted a tutor who would encourage him and build him up.
I wanted to find a tutor who was outstanding in their field and committed to excellence because I knew a great tutor would be able to simplify the concepts for my son to understand and complete his assignments.
A great tutor would know how to teach my son how to take better notes in class, and know what was important to study before his exams.
When I found a tutor with all these qualifications, I knew they would be right for my son, and for me.
Check out this list to learn several ways to locating a good tutor for your student and watch their grades go from C’s to A’s.
1. Ask for referrals. Many of your friends and family members may have used tutors for their children. Consider asking your child’s teacher or counselor at school for recommendations. Co-workers are another source of referrals for finding a good tutor.
2. Look for local advertisements and flyers. Tutors post ads in the communities they service. Skim through local advertisements like the Penny Saver. Check out community bulletin boards at car washes, coffee houses, libraries and markets.
3. The best and fastest resource to finding a good tutor is the internet. Type the word “tutor” along with your city on Google search engine, and an array of choices will appear. You can even specify the subject before the word tutor, such as, “Algebra tutor.” One of my favorite websites to finding a good tutor is Craigslist. Check out your local listings to find a good tutor in your neighborhood.
4. Either way you locate a tutor for your child, always use caution and good sense when inviting a new person into your home. Call their phone first to gain a sense of professionalism from the tutor. Know their background, and ask for references.
Be willing to pay a little more in order to gain a lot more quality from an excellent tutor. A outstanding tutor will know how to teach to your child’s needs.
The most important aspect of finding a good tutor is take action today.
Make the calls and find a good tutor. Your child’s future depends on you. When they bring home that test paper with an “A”, the smile on their face will be the best reward for you. Thanks for being a great parent!
