Tutors, Papakowhai

There never seems to be a middle ground. Either you have hundreds of resources at your fingertips and can’t possibly choose which one to use, or you find it incredibly hard to get your hands on even basic resources. How can we find and choose the best resources for what we need?

It goes without saying that as a new tutor, you’ll want to make a good impression and see academic improvement in your students. However, wanting to be an effective tutor is not the same as having experience. New tutors without experience tend to make the same mistakes when they start out.

If you are on the hunt for a private tutor, you’re probably motivated by one of two main reasons (though there are others). You’re concerned that your child is under-performing. You are worried that your child will be ‘left behind’ in today’s increasingly competitive educational landscape.
