Chalk Talk: How To Pick a Tutor

Picking a tutor can be difficult. The first thing to consider is the subject you need tutoring in. The tutor you choose should be flexible and able to work with this subject well, but the tutor should also be able to work with the student in a comfortable environment. The important thing is that the tutor doesn’t do the work for the student but rather helps the student become able to do the work him/herself. Finding a tutor can seem tricky, but talk to other parents and see the experiences they’ve had with certain tutors. This will add perspective; though, remember that each student is different. Also, talk to the learning specialist at your school to find a tutor. They should have a list of tutors students have worked with in the past. There are many companies that offer tutoring, and they come with guarantees, though independent tutors might be less expensive even though they might not have the same guarantees.
