Chalk Talk: Questions to Ask a New Tutor
When hiring a tutor, parents need to interview them just as they would anyone else they are hiring for service. Specific questions will help set the parents’ minds at ease that they are hiring someone that meets their needs. First find out if they have certifications or degrees in specific areas. At times it may be beneficial to hire someone that specialized in the area of the student’s struggles, however these tutors may charge more for their specialty. Next, make sure to ask into references. This is a way to find out about the tutor, especially if they have tutored successfully with other students. Ask them to describe their teaching style. If they are a strict educators, parents need to see if this will work best with their child. Parents can also ask them to demonstrate their method, or ask them to teach a short lesson while observing them. Finally, ask for their goals and methods for the child in question. This lets parents know if the child’s needs will be met.
