Some parents are obsessed with tutors coming into their homes. Here is what they really should be obsessed with.

Getting results.

That should be your one and only obsession when it comes to choosing your private tutor for your child.

We receive calls every single day from parents who are desperate to work with us. They know the results that we achieve and they know what they want for their children. They are crystal clear on that. They know that they want to provide their child with the best opportunities possible. We receive other calls every day from parents who specifically ask me if I provide ‘in person tutors’.

Well, no I do not. And there is a very good reason for that.

It is unnecessary.

You will be paying 1.5 times my personal hourly rate to have someone with my level of experience coming into your home to tutor your child.

The quality of all tutors is not the same. Far from it. I tutored in person for 7 years. My level of experience then is no where near my level of experience now. Yes, I got great results. But no where near the results that I get now for my clients.

So careful with this obsession. Think about it carefully. Why do you really want a tutor coming into your home? Is it because you just want to leave them in a room with your child and have an hour to yourself (I get that!)? Is it because you want to offer them tea and biscuits? If it because you think your child will develop a better relationship with this person?

It’s all simply not true.

All I want is for children all over the world to work with the best teachers possible. All I want is for children all over the world to make the progress that they deserve to be making with their learning. All I want is for children all over the world to have the best possible chances for success in any assessment that they go to.

So think carefully about this in person obsession. It could be costing you your child’s results.

Also, this is not anything against in person tutors. I’m certain you can find great teachers who will come into your home and as I said I was an in person tutor for many years so please don’t get offended by my words if this is you!
