Start by identifying what your child needs help with and the kind of support that helps them feel comfortable asking questions.
Understand your child’s needs
Discuss the subjects and tasks your child finds difficult. Share these goals with prospective tutors so you can compare how they would approach the lessons.
Ask about teaching experience
Look for relevant subject knowledge and experience teaching children at a similar stage. Ask how the tutor adapts lessons and checks understanding.
Review progress together
Agree on a manageable schedule and clear learning goals. Check in with your child and tutor regularly to discuss progress and adjust the plan.
