TYPE OF TUTOR?
What type of tutor are you looking for? Better yet, what type of tutor is best for your child's academic growth?
Many parents new to private tutoring ask this question, among others. Choosing the type of tutor that will match your needs is important. However, do not disregard your child's preferences completely. You know that you are looking for someone polite, professional, and competent, while your child is probably hoping for someone energetic and fun. You CAN find the perfect tutor.
Some parents request a female tutor, others male, and still others have no preference. Choose who you think will be a better match for your child. Does your child interact better with males? Females? Often, parents of young children prefer a tutor of the same gender, but requests for female tutors are definitely more common here at Trex Tutoring. Some parents will purposely choose the opposite of what their child is more comfortable with, simply for the reason that less comfort can mean less play and more work.
What about experience? Here at Trex Tutoring we have a mixture of tutors with various backgrounds. We have tutors with Bachelor's/Master's Degrees and a few in college. We have tutors who are certified teachers, college professors, tutors who started with other tutoring services, and some who are just sharp, educated people who love helping others learn. Every tutor has their strengths. Some prefer the little ones, while others prefer college students. Some prefer tutoring math and science, while others prefer reading and writing. Some prefer weekdays, while others prefer weekends. There are a few (very few) special ones that can do it all! Our job is to see to it that your assigned tutor will have the qualities necessary to meet your child's needs.
It is rare, but occasionally we will get a request for a change in tutor assignment. Sometimes the chemistry is not there, and the parent wants to try another tutor. However, the usual case is that the child and parent form a relationship with the tutor to the point that if the tutor has to stop tutoring for some reason, the disappointed family is dreading the unknown of who is coming next. Then they receive another wonderful tutor that they can depend on, and life moves forward.
There are families that have been loyal clients of Trex Tutoring for 9 years and counting. We hope to include you in this category by providing great, convenient service to your family!
