More and more parents are using online tuition, because it\u2019s flexible (saving them time on travel) and it\u2019s cost-effective. Plus, with online tuition, you can choose from a wide range of quality tutors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhen I first looked into tuition, I didn\u2019t even think about getting an online tutor. But with all our working commitments, we thought we would try it out\u2013and it was worth it! My daughter got more confident each lesson &amp; James really helped explain in a way that she understood. Couldn\u2019t recommend it enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u2013Angela, MyTutor parent<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4\"><strong>Picking a tutor can be something parents struggle with. But it comes down to 5 basic questions<\/strong>:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Is it someone your child will engage with?<\/strong> It\u2019s important for your teen to get on with their tutor. They\u2019ll want to feel comfortable asking their questions so they can fill in their learning gaps and grow. It\u2019s why older siblings and other near-peer tutors work so well for teens. Tutors who are <a href=\"https:\/\/fb.watch\/fpsEsiU_wv\/\">close in age <\/a>know what your teen\u2019s going through and the relationship between them can motivate your child to do their best.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\"><li><strong>Is the tutor good at communicating? <\/strong>Teaching qualifications aren\u2019t always the best measure of how well they\u2019ll get through to your teen. We\u2019ve all had a teacher who just made us copy notes from the board. If you can meet with a tutor for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/\">free intro session<\/a> before committing to lessons, that\u2019s a huge plus.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\"><li><strong>Does the tutor have a good understanding of the exam board\/topics being taught?<\/strong> Again, qualifications alone aren\u2019t always enough. Ask how up-to-date the tutor is with curriculum. It could be that a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MyTutorUK\/videos\/296745739196464\/\"> mentor tutor<\/a> has a better idea of teaching the syllabus than a retired teacher. Plus, mentor tutors who are closer in age still take exams at uni, so they know what techniques work best.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\"><li><strong>Is it someone YOU can work with? <\/strong>Is the tutor able to fit into your family schedule? Will you have to be on-hand to drive somewhere or will you feel like you have to tidy the house whenever they come round? Do you have control over when lessons take place? How easy is it to reschedule (life happens!). Are they in your budget? Does their communication style work for you?<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"5\"><li><strong>Is the tutor trusted by other parents?<\/strong> To feel confident about a tutor, it helps to hear about how good they are from other parents. You might be referred to a local, in-person tutor by a friend. Or if you\u2019re thinking of online tuition, you can see lots of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/testimonials\/\">honest reviews <\/a>left by parents like you on tutors\u2019 profiles.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re picking your teen\u2019s tutor, you might have other things to think of: like if your kid needs SEN support, and if you\u2019ve got cultural or personal health requirements. But if you work through these 5 main questions, you should have an easier time choosing the right tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Keen to see if&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/find-tutors\/\" target=\"_blank\">online tuition&nbsp;<\/a>could work for you?

To make everything fit together, you\u2019ll need to consider: your child, your family, your tutor, your child\u2019s school and any after-school clubs. Let\u2019s see how you can make all the pieces match up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your child <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child needs to buy into the idea of tutoring for it to work best. This can be hard if they think they\u2019re getting a tutor because they\u2019ve \u2018failed\u2019 or are \u2018stupid\u2019. Let them know that their tuition is there to be a stress-reliever \u2013 something that\u2019s going to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MyTutorUK\/videos\/301035362139175\">boost their confidence <\/a>and give them control over their learning. Once they get why a tutor is there to help them, include them in the process. If your child feels like they\u2019ve been part of picking their tutor, they\u2019ll be more open to the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your family <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though hiring a tutor should help make things easier, tutoring can still put extra pressure on the rest of your family. If you\u2019ve got a tutor coming to the house, siblings\/partners\/pets might need to be quiet and out of the way. You may feel like you need to tidy up or host the tutor when you could be doing other things. And if you go to a tutor\u2019s house, taxiing your child to and from might just be another thing on your long to-do list. When picking a tutor, try to find a solution that\u2019s going to fit into your family life\u2013 not create more work for you. Online tuition is easy to book, reschedule, and there\u2019s no travel involved so you save on time (and fuel!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your tutor <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A huge benefit of quality online tutoring is that communication can be super easy for everyone. Instant messaging tools on platforms like ours means that you can book lessons and get in touch with the tutor without fuss, if anything comes up. And there\u2019s even a written record of lesson feedback so you know what\u2019s going on. Plus, you and your teen can watch their lessons over again since they\u2019re all recorded. Online platforms that are well thought out give tutors peace of mind too. They can easily reach you and know if they need to re-jig their lesson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Your child\u2019s school<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a classroom, teens are at different levels and abilities. It\u2019s not easy for the class teacher to make sure everyone is getting the right support they need all the time. It\u2019s even harder when the class size goes up. 1-1 tuition is a great way to cover any learning gaps or for teens to stretch in areas where they\u2019re doing really well. They can learn at their own pace. Talk to your child\u2019s teacher and find out what areas they should focus on in their tutoring sessions. You\u2019re helping the teacher too in this way. This twin strategy of school + tutoring is becoming more and more popular in the UK, so you probably won\u2019t be the first parent to bring it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Extra-curricular activities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After-school clubs and activities teach kids some of their most important lessons about teamwork, being creative, and taking risks. It\u2019s important that tuition doesn\u2019t take the place of these. When picking the type of tutoring for your teen, try to make it fit around your child\u2019s outdoor, creative and physical activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6\">How do I know if tuition is working? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before they start, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mytutor.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/COPY-Schedule-Planner-21x29.7-%D1%81m-Instagram-Post-A4-1-2.pdf\">set some clear goals<\/a> with your teen about what they should get out of the tuition. It\u2019ll make it a lot easier to measure how they\u2019re getting on. Let your child\u2019s tutor know about these goals too at the start. Once your teen\u2019s tuition is underway, here are a few ways you can work out how it\u2019s going:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Ask your child if they\u2019re finding the sessions helpful.<\/li><li>See if there\u2019s a difference in your child\u2019s attitude to homework and school. Are they finding their homework easier?<\/li><li>Chat with your child\u2019s tutor about how they\u2019re getting on.<\/li><li>Check to see if your child\u2019s test scores at school are getting better.<\/li><li>Ask your child\u2019s teacher if they\u2019ve noticed an improvement in their confidence\/grades.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When tuition works well, you should see a boost in your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MyTutorUK\/videos\/1053475998897224\/\">child\u2019s confidence and their grades too<\/a>. They should feel empowered in their learning and be more active in their lessons at school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7\">And what about if tuition isn\u2019t working for my child? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your teen is nervous about their tuition sessions or if they feel overwhelmed with prep work, let your tutor know. See if things get better. If they stay the same, it\u2019s probably a good sign that you should find a different tutor, try a different type of tuition, or re-think whether tuition is the right option for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At MyTutor, we understand the busy lives of families with teens. We\u2019ve made it easier to find great tutors who deliver results and make life less stressful for parents doing their best. Our tutors are personally interviewed (just 1 in 8 who apply make it) and work online with pupils from all walks of life in our interactive lesson space.
