Things To Clarify Before Hiring A Private Tutor

You might be one of those parents who are very concerned about their child's performance in school

. Your child may be failing on his subjects and you might be starting to think that he is some kind of a slow learner. I will tell you, your child is not a slow learner at all. He might just need some reinforcement for him to be able to cope up with his grades in school.

But another dilemma is your time. You might not have enough time to personally assist your child in his studies. Well I have good news for you. You now have a solution to your problem by means of home tuition. Singapore in particular practices home tuition widely. As a matter of fact, a lot of parents and student are involved in home schooling.

There are a lot of home tuition agencies particularly in Singapore that offers high quality tutoring. Even teachers who teach at regular schools cater tutoring at home on part time basis. On the other hand there are also retired teachers, and sometimes fresh graduates who cater home tuition as their full time work.

But the problem is, with so many home tutors around, how will you be able to identify a good one?

The process can be very simple. If you are living in Singapore and you are looking for someone who provides a home tuition service, you can search through the internet. If you limit your search in the Singapore area, Google will give you the result of about sixty one thousand search result. Narrow down your search by visiting few websites. Study the services of each tuition agency and take note of the ones which fits your standards.

If you have decided to contact one of the providers, you should be ready with the following information:

1. Personal Details - You will need to provide your name, contact number and address. This is important so that the person who coordinates for the tutoring service will be able to contact you for important matters.

2. Subject - You need to be specific as to what subject area you need your child to be tutored.

3. Particular schedule of the tutor - You also need to be specific about the particular days that you want to schedule the home tutor for your child. You also need to be specific with the time. In scheduling for the tuition, you need to consider your child's previous activities. Remember that home tuition can be more effective if it is set on days when your child is not too exhausted from other activities.

4. How much can you afford - different tutors have different professional fee rates. Normally, websites that offers home tuition will include the list of different professional fee rates on their site.

5. Gender of the tutor - The preference of the gender of the tutor should not only be based on your preference. It is also important to take note of the preference of your child. This is very important because your child needs to be comfortable with his tutor for him to be able to maximize his learning. After all, it is your child who will be dealing with the tutor and not you.

Sometimes, parents are also very particular with the educational attainment of the tutor. This can be a good basis. However, this does not give you any guarantee that the person is really capable of teaching your child. Remember that teaching is a skill that needs to be mastered.
