Parents, it's not easy to find the right expert to help your child.

Here are some Top Tips for you:

* It is not advisable to go with the first tutor you find or the cheapest, interview at least 3 to 4.

* Ask for a CV, relevant qualifications, and their criminal background check certificate.

* Ask for a first free lesson even if it's 30 minutes to gauge how well your child interacts with the tutor.

* Try to stay present in that first 30 minutes in order to assess the tutor's teaching style.

* After the lesson talk to your child, how do they feel about the lesson? Were they excited? Bored? Interested?

* Based on yours and your child's assessment you can decide whether to rebook another lesson.

* Sometimes it can take up to 3 tutors to find the right one - the results will speak for themselves.

Even if you are not using a tutor on the Scholar Hub platform we are still here to help as our mission is child safety.

NEVER fall back on a recommendation without your own investigation and assessment of a tutor.

Remember we are the ONLY tuition site that has a strict policy on criminal background checks for our under 18s tutors.  Although the law does not require this, we hold a high bar when it comes to the safety of our children on Scholar Hub.
