Parent Guides — Choosing a Tutor, Setting Expectations & Protecting Study Time
The non-academic questions that decide whether a tutor engagement works — how to shortlist, how to run a proper demo, how to set weekly check-ins, and how to spot a bad tutor early.
The tutor is only half the equation — the other half is how the family sets up the engagement. These articles are for the parent, not the student. How to interview a tutor without being awkward. What a good demo class actually looks like (and what red flags to walk away from). How to structure weekly Sunday check-ins so you catch a slip in Week 2 instead of Week 8. How to talk to a school teacher about a private tutor without friction. How to protect study time from phone / sibling / relative interference. Written by the same senior mentors who counsel our 50,000+ families.
