If your child is good at Physics but weak in Mathematics, then you should hire a tutor who is an expert in providing Maths home tuition service and can teach Physics as a secondary subject.

With these things in mind, you should also ask a few questions to the tutor. Meet various candidates and ask the following questions to assess who is the best tutor for your child.

  • How will you evaluate the student’s needs? Check how the tutor will use standardized tests, reports from school, or other forms of evaluation to discover what are the weaknesses and strengths of the child.
  • How long will you need to prepare the lessons? You should know that the subjects that are difficult take a longer time to prepare.
  • What do you expect from parents? A good tutor will always need cooperation from the parents and other family members as well.
  • How do you motivate your students? Think about what motivates your child, and seek a tutor who uses these methods.
  • What hours are you available? This is the most important question that you should know. Even if you get the best teacher for your child, but hours are not matching then you can’ hire that teacher.
