About a month ago, we had a parent who shared with us a common problem faced by parents who engaged tutors to teach their child at their residence. The issues were.
1. Within the first month, the tutor kept constantly cancelling classes, changing day and time of classes. Reasons given were unacceptable. Example :- going out with friend.
Even the make up classes were changed .
2. Tutor was busy on her electronic gadget leaving student to do her own work.
3. Lacks professionalism in communicating with parent.
4. Asking for payment before classes commence when it was mutually agreed payment is to be made after every 4 classes.
We urge parents to do a check on the tutor's track record from current or previous students if and when possible.
An adult part time tutor who is in the working world or better still a full time tutor tend to project more professionalism.
Changes to day and time of classes are inevitable once In a while. Not every other week.
