The 50/50 thoughts about 'Tutoring'.

50% of you love tutoring.

50% of you don’t understand tutoring.

I don’t want to use the word hate because I don’t think it is the correct word. You cannot hate something that you 100% do not understand.

Life is 50/50 so I fully understand this.

I also fully understand that we are all entitled to think whatever we want and this blog is not here to convince you to love tutoring. Rather, I am taking the time to write this to simply explain a few things.

I can’t speak for all tutoring out there in the world. But I can speak for CMT - My business.

And since my son told me yesterday that he wants to ‘take over’ my business and ‘teach students online’ like his mama, I owe it to him to try to at least explain things very carefully to you all.

I have clients who are obsessed with the work that we do here at CMT. They value it so much. I know that they would pay at least double what I currently charge them for the services that they receive from us. They rave about us to their friends and family. They see the relationships that their children create with their private teachers and they see the insane amount of progress that their children make.

I have other clients (not many to be fair) but I know there are 50% of you like this out there for whom tutoring is your little hidden secret. Something you hide from your friends and family. You seem to be ashamed of it. You seem to think that there is something wrong with your child for needing it. You seem to be so negative about it. You don’t mind paying for the service but you’re not really delighted about it. Obviously, I want all of my clients to feel delighted about tutoring. I want them to feel excited to invest their money and time into working with us.

I can’t control how people think and feel!

If your child is being tutored, it’s not because they are behind and struggling. To the contrary actually, most of our students are being taught at mastery level for their age groups.

Think what you want about tutoring but don’t talk about something you don’t understand. If you want to take the time to fully understand it - then you can open your mouths.
