How do you find a good tutor for your student?
When it comes to finding a private tutor for your child, it's important to understand why your child needs a tutor in the first place. Are they falling behind or do they want to dive deeper into a particular area? It's also important to remember to always weigh the tutoring experience against your child's needs and personality. What kind of learner are they? To what kind of instruction do they respond best?

What qualities should you look for in a good tutor?
Importantly, a good tutor is there to instruct your child, but also to encourage, and to be available to help teens overcome challenges and roadblocks that might otherwise prove to be insurmountable. Thus, while a good tutor should, of course, be knowledgeable, they should probably also be approachable and open to questions, engaging, adaptable, organized, and forward thinking in order to keep your child moving down their learning pathway.
