The right tutor knows the subject, knows your child’s exam and can explain things in a way your child understands. Here’s how to check.
Questions to ask
- Have you taught this exam or syllabus before?
- How do you find out where my child is struggling?
- What does a typical lesson look like?
- How will you share progress with me?
- What homework, if any, do you set?
- How do you handle a student who’s anxious or unmotivated?
- What’s your cancellation policy?
- Can we start with a trial lesson?

Listen to how they explain. If it’s clear to you, it’s likely clear to your child. (Grace)
