Use this guide when your child needs extra help with a subject, exam preparation or confidence, and you are thinking about a private tutor in person or online. Have recent school reports and any feedback from teachers to hand.
Step by step
Pin down the goal first
Talk to your child and their teacher before you search. Ask the teacher: 'Which topics or skills would most help [name] right now, and is there any support the school already offers?' Write one clear goal, such as 'Build confidence with fractions before the spring term' or 'Improve essay structure for GCSE English'. A specific goal helps you choose the right tutor and judge progress.
