The Best Time of Year to Find a Tutor

Most kids start tutoring during the school year due to low grades or lack of confidence. The challenges that many kids face is a fast paced curriculum with little explanation of concepts or in depth problem solving tasks. This can be a challenging endeavour for many tutors.

That is why it is best to start tutoring during the summer because this is the time when tutors have maximum availability and can tweak some of the lessons that their students need the most without the added urgency and requirements of a typical school year.
 
How to know if your child needs a maths tutor
Even if your child has figured out the answers to their maths problem, you still need to determine their level of understanding of the concepts they are tackling, as well as frustration while they work through their homework. If you think that their homework becomes a long and drawn-out affair without much understanding, you may need to seek the help of a qualified maths tutor.

You need to understand that frustration is often the result of not mastering the basic foundations, which often becomes the cause of your child's struggles. Perhaps your child understands some of the basic skills but starts facing difficulties when required to answer more difficult math problems since they need more advanced skills and understanding.

When your child's grades slip to the point of extreme concern, or you feel like it's too big of a drop of his or her recent scores, then it's time to hire an experienced maths tutor.

How to find a good maths tutor
If you are planning to hire a maths tutor, then it's a good idea to ask your child's teachers in school because they might know someone who can effectively teach your child in this particular subject.

You can also ask your child's classmates, especially those who excel in maths, because they may already have a tutor helping them.

Some are quickly booked out for the following year, but others may still have availability. You'll need to get in touch as soon as you can to secure a regular session for your child.

How often should your child have tutoring lessons?
It's recommended that you start with a weekly session to get your child acquainted with his or her tutor, then you add more if needed. The important thing is to build rapport between your child and the tutor so that learning will be much more effective.

How to get the most out of each tuition session
 As a parent, you need to know your child's current skill level and knowledge when it comes to maths. Encourage your student to highlight certain questions and concepts to be addressed by the tutor during their lesson.
 
You can also require the tutor to help your child with all their homework or do some practice tests since this can give them an idea of where the problem areas are and how to address them.
 
Overall, a qualified math tutor can help your child improve their confidence and motivation in maths, while also helping to improve their grades, and provide them a better chance of achieving their academic goals.
