When it is time to get a tutor, do your homework. Ask friends, family, school counselors or your local librarian if they can suggest good tutors. There are plenty of businesses that specialize in student tutoring as well. Next, find out how long the prospective tutor has been working with students, the age group they normally work with and the subject matter they specialize in. If your child has a learning disability, make sure the tutor can work with your child through the disability. Set a time frame you feel is reasonable for you and your child to see results. You should notice improvement within a few months. Also, be available for your child if they need your help. A tutor will help them get back on track but it's your responsibility to keep them there.
