Many parents struggle with this exact dilemma because they feel as though they are admitting "defeat": their child might be less than perfect. Not true! Most children have trouble understanding a lesson the first time around, and there is something to be said about taking the extra step to ensure that your child not only understand the material but also feels confident discussing it in the classroom. It is often very difficult for a teacher to give their full attention to one student in particular, so regardless of how hard they try to keep their students in line with the classroom pace there will be some that need added resource of tutoring.
It is also beneficial to hire a tutor when the student may understand the material, but have difficulty with the homework. It can often times be a lack of organization and study skills, which a tutor can help to structure. Practice and preparation, along with a routine, are vital in your child's academic success in the future. Keeping up with this structure over the summer is particularly important, so your child has adequate time to catch up and adapt before the new school year.
The three most important things to look for in a tutor that will work for YOUR child: teaching style, background, and the goals you hope to achieve in the time that they are working together.
