I’ll make this quick and to the point.

When you are interviewing a tutor, what are you looking for? What do you ask? My experience is that many, probably at least half only want to know what I charge. You are doing YOURSELF and your CHILD a gross disservice by not thoroughly interviewing this service provider.

At a minimum, you should be interested in asking for and about (in addition to normal logistics)

1. referrals
2. “When you teach a subject/topic do you rely on a lecture approach or socratic teaching approach or something else?
3. “What level of preparation do you require of the students you work with.”
4. “Do you think continuing education is important to you?”
5. “If a student has a problem that they want to set up some ad hoc time, to you support that. If so, how do you do that.” ASK SPECIFICALLY then, if the student has a worksheet that they they want you to look at, how do you handle the logistics of that?
6. Referring to Point 5. “Do you have and/or use Google Classrooms or another cloud/sharing archival ability to get content back and forth to and from the student” ?

Why would one NOT want to know the answers to these (and more questions) before hiring someone?
