Tips to Choose the Right Tutor for Your Kids

How to Choose the Right Tutor for Your Kids

After the pandemic, there is a high demand for tutors for the kids in Hong Kong to boost their academic and non-academic learning processes whether it is a private tutor or a virtual tutor. It has created a great boom in the market for online and offline tutors. As the pandemic is still active, the majority of parents are seeking a personal or virtual tutor for their kids. Due to the pandemic, schools and institutions were shut down for a long time. This has impacted the academic performance of the students badly. This is the reason parents are much inclined to the online or private tutors for their children.

Parents will surely want to hand over their children to the best home tutor, who can help in their academic growth. Here are a few tips to keep in mind before appointing a tutor for your child. 

1. Get References from other parents: References are always a way to get a better vision. If someone has tried and appointed a tutor for their kids, then it makes sense to get a recommendation and then try accordingly. You can talk to other parents and know their views and opinions about their child’s tutor. If someone has tried and tested the tutor's learning, then their opinions would lead you to make the right decision.
2. Tutor’s experience: a well-experienced tutor would help your child to grow in academic and non-academic learning. Your child will learn well if the tutor has the right knowledge and experience. So a tutor must be well qualified and much experienced. So you should check the profile of the tutor well if he has good qualifications and experience.
3. Know the Budget: another point that you need to know is the budget and fee of the tutor. The budget and fee of the tutor vary as per the experience of the tutor. So you have to make sure of every aspect of the tutor’s qualification, experience and availability before coming to the fee and budget of the tutor.
4. Connect your child: As you are searching for a tutor for your child, you also need to know about the tutor as ultimately he is going to get teaching from the tutor. You need to make sure to get involved with your child while choosing his or her tutor. Yes, the final decision will be of the parents, but it would be great to get the opinion of the child as well. You can simply ask your child what he is expecting from the tutor. What he would like in a tutor and his pattern of teaching. As you take input from the child, it would help you to choose the right tutor for him who can better connect with the child.
5. Check out the policies: Check all signing policies with your tutor. It is important to know how many hours of tutoring the child will get. How many days a week the child will get the class and how many teachers will be involved. You must also check the cancellation policy and so on. So before appointing the tutor policy, the terms and conditions part must be checked.
6. Go for a tutoring agency than an individual tutor: if you go for an individual tutor, you might not get the variety of services and knowledge for the child. On the other hand, tutoring agencies are the center of knowledge. They work with several tutors who are well experienced in different subjects and fields. So you can get a variety of tutoring services at the same place. And one more plus point that we can consider for tutoring agencies is that they check the whole background of all the tutors, hence your child will get the best experienced and qualified tutor.
7. Progress report: A good tutor always provides a progress report for the child.  The learning process is a two-way thing, you can not just analyze the performance of the child by the tutor’s lessons and teaching, you have to check the progress of the child during the learning period. Because if the child will not progress then it doesn't matter what kind of tutoring the tutor is giving to the child. To make ideal progress feedback and report is a necessary thing. So you must check whether the tutor is providing the weekly or monthly progress report of the child.
8. Check the record: Check the tutor’s references and his record. Check out the reviews and feedback if given with the profile. It will help you to get a better idea of the experience of that tutor with past parents and students.
