How to choose an online tutor for your child

Distance learning has firmly entered our life during pandemics. Children study at home, but zoom conferencing lessons often have little effect. Accordingly, the child needs a tutor, but he will also have to teach the child online. How to choose a truly effective teacher?

1. Tutor referral

A really good specialist teaches one subject or related subjects (biology and chemistry, mathematics and computer science). If he is a "jack of all trades", then it is worth thinking about how he really is a professional in his field.

2. Real reviews

Just the number of positive reviews per set. - not an indicator of the teacher's professionalism. Reviews can be trite fake. Most often, such false reviews are similar to each other in the style of description, they do not contain specifics of what exactly the tutor liked, what are its practical advantages.

3. Price policy

A good teacher cannot cost several times cheaper than others on the market. If you really want to save money, you will end up saving on quality. A real specialist will not get cheaper, he adequately assesses his abilities and the market he is entering.

Lessons from novice teachers can be a little cheaper, and even cheaper from students. But then the level of preparation of the student on their part will be appropriate, great hopes cannot be pinned.

4. Tutor interview

You should definitely speak with a tutor before starting classes. Discuss what methodology he uses, how he builds the lesson, what requirements he sets, and what he focuses on. It is clear that the child will not listen to a "talking head" that does not involve in the learning process. You also need to discuss the goals you are addressing and an approximate training plan.
