When you hear the word tutoring, what do you think of? Is tutoring just a way for your child to get help with school work?
Many parents believe that tutors are sought when their child is having trouble with a certain subject or with homework.
These are only a few of the traditional concepts of tutoring. But, have you ever thought about how to choose the right tutor for your child?
Not all tutoring services are created equal.
The above image of various forms of martial arts can serve as a perfect example of why not all tutoring services are the same. There are many different types of martial arts to choose from, just like tutoring services.
By highlighting the differences in martial arts, this post hopes to assist you in identifying the right tutoring service for your child.
When choosing the right martial arts for your child, you might consider a few options while considering your own and your child’s objectives:
“Suzie wants to become more disciplined. It looks like Taekwondo is a good option.”
“Jacob is eager to learn self-defense. Karate will definitely teach him that.”
“Carlos wishes to get fit. Jiu-jitsu may help him with physical strength.”
Regardless of how you go about your research, it’s important to keep your and your kid’s interest at heart, to ensure that the approach and outcomes are in place for your child to fully master the art. The case is similar when choosing the right tutoring for your child.
How to ask the right questions when picking the right tutoring service
There are many good questions to ask, but to get you started, we think the ones below will make it easier for you to find the right tutoring service.
1. First and foremost, one should know the purpose for the tutoring.
- What is your purpose?
- What is your child’s purpose?
2. Given your purpose, is the tutoring service you are considering qualified to fulfill this purpose?
This could include not only credentials or experience, but also the approach employed to accomplish your objectives.
3. And lastly, does the individual tutor or organization have documented results in the form of statistics, testimonials or parent referrals?
These are but a few of the things to consider. As we said in the beginning, not all tutors, educational philosophies, or even tutor personalities are the same. We invite you to examine ours, to ask questions, to query, and to compare.
We feel the best decisions are informed decisions. We can help with the process, whether you choose us or not!
