As a parent, this may be the first time you are considering hiring a private tutor for your child. This article will help you not only with the process of <em>finding<\/em> a tutor, but the process of<em> selecting<\/em> a tutor. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The most likely school subjects that parents will hire private tutors for are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; English as a Second Language (ESL)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; Language Arts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; French<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; History, and <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; Social studies.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Your child may need more support completing long writing assignments for Language Arts, history, and social studies especially. Canadian schools are particular about using proper citations and submitting bibliographies in English. The tutor should help your child develop their research skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Some parents may be open to trial sessions with several different tutors before settling on one that will be long-term. A long-term private tutor will typically work with a student for one to three years. After that, the student will move up the academic ladder. At that point, it may be necessary to find a different tutor more suited for the student\u2019s age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents must consider many factors when seeking a good tutor. This person will become your child\u2019s instructor, mentor, and friend. And, you will have to work closely with the tutor to provide your child with the absolute best education. Here are five important factors to consider: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-tutoring-centres-versus-freelance-tutors\"><strong>1. Tutoring Centres Versus Freelance Tutors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Afterschool tutoring centres such as <a aria-label=\"Oxford Learning (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.oxfordlearning.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Oxford Learning<\/a> and Kumon are popping up everywhere in Canada. There is a great demand for them. They have the advantage of being a social centre where students can interact with each other, and parents can converse while their children are in class. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Another major disadvantage of tutoring centres is that they often ask parents to pay for several sessions rather than by the lesson. For example, you may have to pay for ten sessions in advance. If you prefer to pay by the lesson, it&#8217;s more convenient to find a freelance tutor on a site like Kijiji or through word-of-mouth. This way, you can negotiate the time and the hourly wage directly with the tutor.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-locality-and-availability-of-the-private-tutor-nbsp\"><strong>2. Locality and Availability of the Private Tutor&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents should consider local tutors unless the hourly wage you pay covers extra expenses a tutor may incur such as travel expenses, or part of their Wi-Fi for online tutoring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that after-school tutors are often graduate students or teachers looking to earn extra income. So their availability may change. Or, they may occasionally need to cancel due to conflicts with their regular jobs or other commitments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents must remain flexible. However, the tutor is responsible for giving ample warning if they cannot attend a session. A private tutor who frequently cancels sessions is not reliable enough to provide your child with consistent support. In this case, it&#8217;s wise to explore hiring a different tutor.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"rounded-btn border-b-2 border-light-grey bg-off-white lg:grid lg:grid-cols-3 gap-2\">\n    <article class=\"lg:col-span-2 flex flex-col gap-4 p-6 lg:p-12\">\n        <h3 class=\"text-2xl\">Renting your first home in Canada | Options &#038; solutions for newcomers<\/h3>\n        <p>Searching for your first home in Canada?

Experience and Credentials&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents should seek tutors who have experience working with their child\u2019s age group. Here is one mistake parents often make: they focus too much on a tutor\u2019s academic background and degrees. As a teacher myself, I can confirm that a person\u2019s store of knowledge isn\u2019t enough to qualify them as an effective instructor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Any educator must also be prepared to face the unique challenges of working with young students who are impatient, frustrated, shy, unconfident, easily distracted, etc. They must know how to properly handle certain situations, such as when a child feels overwhelmed by their schoolwork and starts getting upset. I recommend parents consider tutors who have also done childcare jobs in the past, such as babysitting and camp counselling. Intelligence combined with life experiences and common sense produces the best tutors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-personality-and-teaching-style\"><strong>4. Personality and Teaching Style<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Some private tutors are upbeat and fun. They make every lesson a game for the student. Some private tutors are strict and no-nonsense. They will focus more on instilling discipline in the student, to prepare for the tough, competitive future ahead of them. And, some tutors fall somewhere in between. To find the right tutor for your child, do trial one-hour sessions with several different tutors. After each session, ask your child the following questions:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; Did you feel comfortable with this tutor?\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; Did this tutor listen to you and let you ask them questions?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; What did you learn during this session?\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>&#8211; Would you like to work with this tutor again?\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Take notes and keep track of your child\u2019s responses. After trying out several tutors, choose the one that best connects with your child and complements your child\u2019s personality. Make sure your child is involved in the selection process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.prepareforcanada.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Choosing-a-Private-Tutor-for-Your-Child-1-1-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"Choosing a private tutor\" class=\"wp-image-30434\" style=\"width:540px;height:540px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-off-hours-work-and-respecting-boundaries-of-private-tutors-nbsp\"><strong>5. Off-Hours Work and Respecting  Boundaries of Private Tutors&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As previously stated, many private tutors do after-school teaching for extra income, on top of another job. So it\u2019s important that parents respect this. Avoid making demands on the tutors that are outside of the tutor\u2019s work margin. For example, parents should not call or email their child\u2019s tutor late at night to ask them questions about their child\u2019s homework or progress. Tutors who feel that their student\u2019s parents do not respect their personal boundaries will end the working relationship. Your child could lose a good tutor this way. So always be mindful of your level of courtesy towards instructors.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents want their children to receive the best educational help. And, they also want their child\u2019s homework and study time to be as productive as possible.  This contributes to your child leading a balanced and less stressful life. Choosing the right tutor to achieve these goals is a major decision that takes consideration, experimentation, and open-mindedness. Combining these three elements, you&#8217;ll find the right private tutor for your child.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":246778,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[294,3],"tags":[97],"class_list":["post-30424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-education","category-living","tag-education"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Choosing a Private Tutor for Your Child | Prepare for Canada<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"For newcomers, selecting a private tutor for your child is an important decision.
