This is an article on how to pick a tutor.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • An Understanding of the following:
  • tutor
  • tutoring
  • math
  1. Step 1

    Step 1) If your child is going to need extra help, picking the right tutor is essential. The first step in picking the right tutor is calling your local tutoring services as well the big TUTORING COMPANIES including Princeton Review, Kaplan, Sylvan, and Huntington Learning Center. These tutors are going to be a relatively expensive, but their knowledge of the subjects they teach has been verified so you know your child is going to get good instruction.

  2. Step 2

    Step 2) If you want to gamble and not spend the large sums that Kaplan, Sylvan, and the rest charge, check the LESSONS and TUTORING section of CRAIGSLIST.COM. Here you'll find many qualified homeschooling tutors as well as certified teachers looking to make some extra money on the side.

  3. Step 3

    Step 3) Another means of getting a good tutor is by calling the GRADUATE DEAPARTMENTS of local COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES and asking for a list of students who want to do supplemental tutoring. Many graduate students relish the chance to make extra income so by all means try this method for attaining a qualified tutor.

  4. Step 4

    Step 4) Another means of getting a qualified tutor is by CONTACTING OTHER SCHOOL TEACHERS in your area and asking them to see if they can tutor your child in the subject they are qualified to tutor. Sometimes this is a good bet.

  5. Step 5

    Step 5) I hope this has been a helpful guide on where to find a qualified tutor. Good luck!
