Once you make the decision that your child will benefit from the support of a tutor, the next step is finding the best possible tutor for their needs. In the past, this has usually involved researching tutoring agencies and allowing their administrators to complete the matching process for you.
At Tutero, we like to do things differently. We know that you are in the best position to make an informed tutor selection by considering your child’s academic goals and personal preferences.
When considering a tutor, there are some obvious criteria worthy of inclusion in your decision-making rubric (availability, experience and academic performance, to list a few). However, we have spent a lot of time learning about the tutor matching process and have seen that some other considerations make a significant impact on the success of the tutoring relationship.
Before you select the best tutor for your child, read on for our three tips for choosing the perfect tutor.
Shared personality traits, like common interests, result in a strong and authentic relationship between the student and tutor.
1. Find a tutor who shares common interests with your child
Your child will spend a lot of time with their tutor and, inevitably, both the tutor and student will discuss their personal interests. The identification of shared interests, be it a favourite sporting team, musician, or activity, will create a great point of connection between the student and tutor. These conversations build trust and establish a degree of authenticity in their relationship, laying the foundation for an impactful tutoring relationship.
This will lead to an atmosphere of friendship, and you will soon see your child excited about attending their tutorials and catching up with their tutor. They will also be more responsive to advice and willing to complete homework, leading to better tutoring results overall.
2. Find a tutor who matches your child’s personality
Shared personality traits, like common interests, result in a strong and authentic relationship between the student and tutor.
Students respond better to tutors who match their temperament, level of extroversion, and emotional generosity. Why? Because it enables the development of a close, positive and supportive relationship that draws students in during the learning process. Unsurprisingly, the strength of the student-teacher relationship is closely correlated with the academic success of the student.
At Tutero, we ask our tutors to provide lots of information about their personality. This request has been made to ensure that you, as a parent, can determine whether there is likely to be a personality alignment with your child.
3. Think about mentorship
The very best tutoring relationships provide students with a model to think about ongoing academic performance and personal development.
When making decisions regarding their academic application, course selection, study habits and even their personal values, students will naturally reflect on decisions made by their tutors.
As a parent, you have an opportunity to pair your child with tutors who you feel are likely to provide your child with important and relevant life advice to guide their decisions.
Consider the university course the tutor is studying/has studied - if there is overlap with the degree that your child is interested in studying, the probability of positive mentorship has increased.
You might also consider a tutor’s extra-curricular engagements and their personal background, as well as their enthusiasm for sharing anecdotes about their experiences.
