Every parent wants their child to succeed in school, not only in
terms of their grades but also with regards to their personal skills. It’s
completely normal for some students to struggle with their studies, so don’t be
afraid to accept additional support from a professional private tutor if your
child’s grades start to slip. I have teamed up with a prep school in Hertfordshire to outline
some of the things you should look out for if you’re unsure whether or not your
child needs a tutor.
The most obvious sign that your child requires a tutor is a drop in
grades. They might fail to complete their homework on time and display general
signs of disorganisation. However, this might be the result of lack of effort,
so make sure your child is trying their best and taking their studies
seriously; especially before you spend any money on a tutor. If they do display
a lack of effort, ask them why. If it’s because they’re struggling and their
confidence has dropped, then a tutor might help them stay motivated.
