Your child isn't doing so well in school, his performance is not as good as it used to be, and he cannot cope with the requirements of his teachers. These are all good reasons for you to get a private tutor for your child. The private tutor will help your child with difficult homework assignments, will explain him/her different concepts or ideas, and will teach him how to study efficiently for tests.
You should know what to bring to a tutoring session. Your child should have his textbooks, notes, previous tests, assignments, workbooks, class syllabus, and the like with him.
The tutoring activity is not the private tutor's exclusive responsibility. You have to do your part, too. You have to make sure that your child does what he is supposed to when he isn't at school. The parents, child, and the tutor have to work together. As a parent, here are your duties:
Before the tutoring session you ought to make sure that your child is familiar with the material the private tutor will be working on. You should encourage your child to make a list of questions on things he/she didn't understand during classes. Have him ask questions when he has problems. Instruct your child to share with the private tutor his/her preferred method for studying. Make sure the child is behaving respectfully towards the private tutor. And always supervise your child's studying activity; make sure he/she is studying thoroughly.
Studying is your child's most important responsibility. He also has to avoid doing prohibited things. Here are the most common things that tutored kids do. Children expect and even ask the private tutor to do the homework for them. They start studying for a test when it's too late and they don't have enough time to learn. Or they ask for the private tutor's help in case of a test when is too late. And, the worst mistake of all, they don't study for the tutoring sessions, therefore the parent's financial effort and the private tutor's activity become useless.
The learning process needs the efforts of kids, parents, and their tutors. All these factors have to cooperate and act responsible for best studying results.
