Get answers to questions about tutoring

If your child is struggling in school, a tutor may be able to help. Check in with your child's teacher to find out what the issues and options are. Tutoring may be available through the school, or you may wish to hire a tutor. Before hiring someone, be sure to ask: What are the person's academic qualifications? (It's preferable for elementary tutors to be certified teachers.) Has the tutor taught this subject or taught children your child's age? Will the tutor communicate with your child's teacher? (The best tutoring supports classroom learning.)
