How to Get a Tutor for Kids

Helping your child with his homework is part of the job of a parent. Sometimes, a child has a lot of trouble with a subject, or you find yourself out of your element in a particular area. When this happens, you can enlist the help of a professional tutor. A good tutor can help your child understand the concepts he needs to advance to the next level. There are many avenues for finding a good tutor.

      Contact the school administration. The school may have an on-campus tutoring program that you can take advantage of. If not, the administration may be able to recommend a private tutor.

      Check for professional tutoring services in your area. These are private educational companies that specialize in tutoring, test prep, achievement and school remediation. They will have their own facilities and will hire their own tutors to work with your child. These may be expensive, but they develop their own techniques for furthering your child’s education.

      Call the closest university or junior college. Many have lists of tutors that they will provide. If not, you can look on bulletin boards on campus for students advertising their services.

      Work with your local library for information about tutoring programs they have available. Some students and professionals advertise on the bulletin boards. Some libraries have teams of volunteers that help tutor. The exact services will vary by library system.

      Speak with your local Big Brothers, Big Sisters organization to see if they currently have tutors available. Boys and Girls Clubs also often have tutoring programs, and so do some YMCA and other youth organizations, through their community literacy program and through other programs.
