A Guide to making contact with a tutoring agency – first steps

Once you’ve decided your child could benefit from having a private tutor, the next step is to contact academic tutoring agencies informing them of your particular needs and gauging whether they are the right agency to help. Below is a list of information you will need to cover in order to adequately describe the level of service your child requires:

  • Child’s age
  • Grade in school
  • Name of school (including whether it is public or private)
  • A succinct diagnosis of your child’s situation/learning difficulties: "My daughter has dyslexia” or “Charlie has trouble understanding what is expected of him when given an assignment” or “My son has ADHD.”
  • The teacher's and/or your own observations: "Richard often lacks self-confidence in his math ability despite achieving above-average grades in the subject throughout his first three years of elementary school.”  Or “My child often disrupts other children in class as he cannot concentrate on the task at hand.” Or “Melanie has recently exhibited a lack of enthusiasm for school which is uncharacteristic for her.”

Other suggestions when soliciting the services of a private tutor include:

  • Getting referrals from friends and acquaintances (word of mouth is often the most reliable way to get a good quality tutor for your child).
  • It could be very helpful for you to gather resources and jot down notes in an exercise book in order for you to organize everything and keep up-to-date with what you want to achieve when hiring a tutor for your child.
  • Ask the tutor what kind of experience they have with regard to your child’s specific needs.
  • If you are concerned about your child’s behavior, ensure to ask the tutor how they deal with unruly children and what techniques they use to motivate unenthusiastic learners.
