Math Problems in Manhattan? The six Questions You Must Inquire Ahead of You Hire a Private Home Math Tutor
But “adequate” tutoring won´t help a smart teenager who is struggling with a difficult subject—especially if he has his eye on a spot in the freshman class at an Ivy League school.
“Generalized” tutors who cover many unrelated subjects are like general practitioners. You wouldn´t go to one if you needed open heart surgery. You´d go to the best cardiac surgeon you could find. Likewise, if your child needs help in a specific subject, you should work with a tutor who specializes exclusively in that subject. And if the prospective tutor insists on seeing the student´s work beforehand, that´s a RED FLAG that he has to study and that he´s not a true math expert—this also applies to a “tutor” who requires a detailed list of topics before tutoring your child. Do you want a tutor who “crams for the test”? Or would you rather have a true math expert who knows that he can walk in cold to a tutoring session and “ace the test”? Would you hire a surgeon who had to consult an anatomy textbook to refresh his memory before operating on you?
Question 2: What is your educational background and work history?
It´s important to make sure that your math tutor has a degree in mathematics and can expertly teach all math subjects and standardized tests. Also, your tutor should have many years of post-college tutoring experience. Surprisingly, math teachers don´t always make the best math tutors. That´s because unlike teachers, tutors never know what questions or challenges they´ll face in the course of a workday. Many teachers just teach “from the book” instead of tailoring their teaching styles to a particular student´s needs.
The tutoring company you hire should have a rigorous screening process and take the best and the brightest from all fields that require a high degree of math skills (e.g, top math teachers, accountants, actuaries, engineers).
Question 3: When are you available?
You don´t want to have to structure your life around your tutor´s schedule. Is the tutor available 7 days a week? Will he work around your schedule?
Question 4: Do you offer support outside of regular tutoring sessions?
It´s 10pm on the night before a big test, and your daughter is so frustrated with a tough math problem that she´s almost in tears. Who can she turn to for help? You, of course. But will the uncomfortable parent-child dynamic get in the way? Excellent tutors are available outside of tutoring sessions either by a late-night phone call, fax, or e-mail.
Question 5: Do you offer in-home tutoring?
Many students have anxiety that has them so nervous and stressed that they can´t focus on solving their math problems. Many are convinced that they´re “just not good at math.” Since your life is hectic enough as it is, why rearrange your life to match a company´s schedule? Students learn better when they are comfortable and “math anxiety” can be reduced when they are in a familiar setting, whether that is Manhattan, Westchester, the Hamptons, or anywhere in between.
Question 6: Do you offer a guarantee?
Some companies insist that it´s impossible to guarantee a student´s success.
