Many students benefit from working with a qualified tutor. Tutors are a great
way to jump start your student’s enthusiasm and motivation for a
subject.
With sports, extracurricular activities and all the homework that
kids have nowadays, it’s easy for them to fall behind in their coursework. Some
students have a tendency to shut down and not express they are behind until it
is often too late.
Teachers are overwhelmed and stressed out by large class
sizes and not always able to provide the individual attention that some students
need. A tutor can be the answer to your student’s needs. Finding a quality tutor
though is not always easy.
There are many tutoring agencies and franchises that charge
top dollar and often times can not guarantee your child will be able to meet
with the same tutor each time. The benefit is that they usually have a location
with flexible hours and times to provide round the clock help for your
student.
Independent tutors are generally experts in the subject, but may or
may not have a lot of extra time to devote to your student. Before choosing a
tutor for your student, there are several things to look for.
1. Experience:
Ask the tutor if they have tutored students before and don’t be shy to ask for
testimonials or references
2. Communication: Ask the tutor if he/she will
communicate periodically with the teacher to track progress and stay in the loop
with tests/quizzes
3. Feedback: Ask the tutor to let you know what your
student needs to be working on and any suggestions or recommendations they have
after each tutoring session.
Also make the tutor aware of any learning
challenges your student may have and include them on any conditions or behavior
issues your student might have. The right tutor will help your student stay
focused, motivated and build their confidence!
