Every parent knows that their Child will benefit from private one-on-one tutoring.
But how can we spot the difference between a tutor that will help your child excel and one who will just waste your money.
The good news is, at Tutorspot we thoroughly screen our Tutors so you know whatever you choose, we can assure you that you will be getting a quality tutor.
Here are 7 steps on how to find a good tutor.
1 – Look for Qualifications.
The hundreds of tutors we have on our site are asked to fill out their qualifications. From there you can browse through and choose what tutor is best for your child.
Wouldn’t it be great to have a tutor who aced their exams and has exemplified their learning capabilities?
Well on Tutorspot, you can.
Let us take a look at one of our Tutors, Marcus. This feature gives you the ability to pre-screen Tutors before they begin.
As we can see, Marcus has received excellent grades in his exams.
He also gives lessons online.

2 – Get Recommendations
Ask around, what can your friends tell you about tutoring? Have they used a tutor for their own child?
A good recommended tutor will always live up to their name. So ask around and see what you get back.
3 – Look for Experience
A tutor who has 10 years’ experience will be able to bring so much more to the table compared to a new tutor who just gave their first lesson last week.

4. Be Willing to Pay Above Average
As with everything, if you want quality, be prepared to pay above the average price. That being said, pricing for tutors varies depending on experience and ability, but don’t worry, it won’t end up costing you a fortune.
A good tutor will have a wealth of knowledge and experience and use this to be able to help your child ace their exams.
For example, a good physics and maths tutor will likely have 10+ years of experience of helping students.

5. Try an Online Tutor Session
Before you commit to a block of lessons wouldn’t it be a good idea to just book one to get a sample of what your chosen tutor is like?
You can see what their knowledge and style is like and see if it’s suited to your child’s individual needs.
What you need to look out for: are they fun and enthusiastic to get your child excited for each session? Or are they slow and methodical to make sure your child is understanding everything?
Using the first session to gauge these aspects will be important in moving forward to make sure everything flows smoothly.
