Tutors provide learning support to students who are
struggling in a subject area or who need extra help
with study skills and organization. They help with comprehension,
test taking skills, note taking, and different modalities
of reinforcement of subject material.
Specific Questions:
- What training have you had in teaching students
with non-traditional learning styles?
- What is your background in your subject area?
- Do you work with a specific age group?
- How many times a week will my child need to see
you?
- Will you observe my child in his classes or advocate
for him in the school, if necessary?
- How will you keep us apprised of his progress?
- Will you be able to help my child with organizational
skills and note-taking?
- How will you help him become a better test-taker?
