Tutoring services are offered on every corner. Information can be found on the notice board in any entrance.
And the closer the time for final exams, the entrance campaign or the beginning of the school year, the more actively these services are offered to the population.
Should you rush into making a decision and hiring a tutor for your child?
When to Hire a Tutor
In such situations, experts advise thinking about the purpose for which the student needs additional classes. Here are some of them.
Firstly, if a child cannot master the school curriculum for a specific subject.
Secondly, if the child missed important topics due to illness or other reasons.
Thirdly, academic performance has declined or the level of knowledge needs to be improved.
Fourthly, if parents cannot control homework.
Fifth, preparation for exams and other important events.
How to choose a tutor
The responsible specialist will offer an introductory lesson to assess the level of knowledge.
For parents and the child himself, this is a good opportunity to evaluate the individual approach of the mentor.
If a specialist guarantees a 100% result, and there is little time left before the exam, then you should not trust the promises.
Review the work plan, discuss the intensity of the workload, and ask how you will monitor changes in the level of knowledge.
But as experts say, the first changes can make themselves known already in the 5th or 6th lesson with a tutor.
It is also important that the tutor not only realistically assesses the child’s abilities in a particular discipline, but also sees his other characteristics.
