Choosing a Tutor Chemistry Cost and Capability

Image
Choosing a Tutor — Chemistry, Cost and Capability Finding a private tutor has become so much easier in recent years, thanks notably to the Internet and sites like Tutorially™ that provide directories for personal tutors to help them find students, as well as being well indexed by search engines so students can find them. With so many people   asking themselves: ‘how should I go about   finding reputable tutors near me?’   Finding a personal tutor   has become easier with the arrival of the Internet, and recent innovations such as online  tutoring software  mean you are no longer restricted to your local area.   Finding a good private tutor ,  however, remains as difficult as ever. And a tutor may be great for one student, but not so great for the next. In this article, we’ll go over the most fundamental elements that determine the success of a student/tutor relationship — chemistry, cost and capability — helping you to find the hit and avoid the miss! As a parent, you are the

Avoiding the Summer Brain Drain

Avoiding the Summer Brain Drain Tutoring The children are doubtless enjoying the summer break; however, studies show that a typical student forgets up to a third of what they have learned over the school year during the summer holiday! For parents, there is an obvious motivation to extend learning outside of the classroom and stop the ‘brain drain’. But what can be done to maintain mental fitness, so a student is best placed to return to school in September ready to learn? Discuss education goals Getting some focus on longer-term goals for the coming academic year can be a fantastic way to boost motivation. It is equally important to create shorter term ‘stepping stone’ targets to break down bigger targets into more manageable steps in the right direction.

How to Build a Tutor Website The single easiest and most cost-effective thing you can do to promote your  tutoring business  is to get yourself a website set up. There are hundreds, probably thousands, of companies that can assist you in this effort, and you can pay pretty much anything from a few hundred pounds to several thousand, but it is preferable to do it all yourself - from the point of view of cost obviously, but also as you’re going to want to update it frequently to keep your audience engaged. Setting up a website  can be complicated, and the steps required are laid out in this article. If setting it all up yourself seems too daunting, skip to the ‘Easy Options’ section further down.
