Professional Private Tutors
There are many reasons why a family may wish to employ a private tutor, for example:
- preparation for school entrance exams such as Common Entrance
- revision for GCSE or A-level
- exam strategy
- interview technique
- extra help for a child who is struggling with a particular subject at school
- preparing to start school in the UK after living overseas
- help for children with special needs
- extended learning challenges for gifted and talented children
- specialist tutoring for children who are home-schooled
Tutors may be engaged for weekly or daily lessons, or during the school holidays on a full-time or part-time basis. Sometimes the tutor will offer lessons in their own premises or else they will travel to the pupil's home. Another option is to have a residential tutor living with the family either in the UK or overseas, on a permanent basis or a short term contract.
When deciding to employ a tutor for your family, it is important to know that they are properly qualified and that they have passed the appropriate screening procedures for those who wish to work with children. It is also very important to find the right tutor for your child, particularly if they are going to be living in your family home and it is likely that you will wish to interview several candidates before making your choice. The whole process may seem rather daunting but help is available from agencies who specialise in providing tutors. A reputable agency will take over the donkey-work for you and provide you with a selection of suitable candidates; they will have listened to you to establish your family's requirements and they will make every attempt to match your child to the best tutor for his or her needs.
