How to know that you have the right tutor

Having a tutor can be extremely positive to a child's learning or detrimental it all depends on if the student's tutor is the right fit. But how can you determine this. What type of teaching does the student respond to best. If the child needs a strict teaching style to learn then the tutor should follow this, this can help already motivated student who need an extra push or students who struggle to stay on task a strict tutor can help they develop techniques that will help them when they are studying independently. If the student lacks confidence then a strict tutor might not be the best choice.

If a student needs to gain confidence in a subject then the tutor may need to prioritise praising the students current efforts more and help guid them in a more gentle approach. More friend like tutors can help create a positive and more comfortable dynamic for these kinds of students to thrive in. Furthermore if the student is against the idea of tutoring in the first place than this type of dynamic can help them enjoy the learning process more and see it as a fun thing rather than another boring task in their schedules.

Age also plays a big role in what kinds of tutors are best fit. Older high school students are typically under more pressure and experience more stress and are often going to tutoring to get the most out of the sessions. So a stricter style in tutoring can help them get the most out of it as it forces them to stay on task and be more productive. Younger students however typically need a friendlier more casual teaching style to make them not only eager to learn but also to promote confidence and comfortability as primary students tend to be nervous to start tutoring.
