The benefits and value of getting hiring a tutor

Times are tough and money is tight for nearly everyone.  It may seem hard to justify spending anything more on anything that you can do without but when it comes to education and recreational activities for kids loving parents around the world are willing to open up there wallets but why some parents might ask.

First of all those who are wise to the benefits of tutoring end up using a tutor for many years.  They love watching their kids succeed in subjects like math, chemistry, English.  Letting kids know that they can work hard and overcome their obstacles by working hard and the wisdom to seek help when they need it might be the most valuable lesson of all.  Many parents want their kids to do it on their own and have tried everything short of locking them in their room to some how force knowledge uptake by osmosis but honestly it doesn’t work.  Most struggling students whether they realize it or not need to have a dialogue with their tutor and through that dialogue flush out whatever there challenges and resistances to material might be.  Students always listen better to anyone other than mom and dad telling them to work hard as well.  Its just one of those things where a tutor or mentor can be more convincing with the same message, as well they will be able to take the arrow smith courses with the tutor.

From a parents perspective though mom and dad yes we know you did well in high school and have a robust career in the private sector but trust me when I say its been a while and there is a lot of rust on the brain parts that used to remember how to do advanced algebra without making a ton of errors.  Parents who are wise to this realize they don’t want to look dumb infront of their kids either so honestly its best left to those who do it everyday.  Its better to have a plumber come and fix your plumbing then making a mess yourself isn’t it.  Same logic applies here.
