If you are looking for a tutoring service then you need to evaluate all of your options before selecting one. There are many questions that you can ask a potential tutor to determine if they are right for you. This blog entry will present these questions.
Question No. 1: What subjects do you tutor?
This question is one of the most important questions to ask. It will determine if the tutor will be able to help you in the subject that you are interested in. It will also help you to gage if they are a general tutor or a subject specific tutor.
Questions No. 2: When are you available?
This question will help you to determine if the tutor’s schedule will work with your schedule. Obvious, for most students, tutoring services are going to either need to be scheduled after school or on the weekends. However, in-school tutoring sessions can also be worked out with your school, so don’t rule this out.
Question No. 3: What experience do you have?
This question will help you to determine how qualified the tutor is to tutor you in your chosen subject(s). This question can also be modified to determine their experience in specific skills such as what experience do you have in calculus or what experience do you have working with students who are dyslexic?
