As a parent, you want to give your child every opportunity to succeed—and sometimes, that means finding the right tutor to support their learning journey. But with so many options available, how do you choose a tutor who’s the perfect fit?
At Hanahi Education, we’ve helped hundreds of families across the UK find professional, caring, and effective tutors. Here’s what you should consider when selecting the right one for your child.
1. Understand Your Child’s Needs
Before looking for a tutor, ask yourself:
- What subjects does my child need help with?
- Are they struggling with understanding the content or staying motivated?
- Do they need long-term support or short-term help for exams?
Identifying your child’s academic goals will help narrow your options and find a tutor who specialises in those areas.
2. Look for Qualifications and Experience
A good tutor should not only be knowledgeable in their subject but also have experience working with students at your child’s level. Whether it’s Key Stage 2, GCSEs, or A-levels, make sure the tutor has a proven track record of helping students succeed.
At Hanahi Education, all our tutors are carefully selected based on their qualifications, experience, and teaching style.
3. Consider Their Teaching Style
Every child learns differently. Some need structure, while others thrive with a more creative approach. A tutor who can adapt their teaching style to match your child’s learning preferences will make a huge difference in results.
Don’t be afraid to ask for a trial session to see how well the tutor and student connect.
4. Ask About Progress Tracking
Effective tutoring isn’t just about reviewing homework—it’s about measurable progress. A great tutor will:
- Set clear learning objectives
- Monitor progress regularly
- Provide feedback to both the student and parents
At Hanahi Education, we keep parents informed with regular updates and progress reviews, so you’re always in the loop.
5. Think Long-Term
While short-term tutoring for exams can be helpful, long-term support builds stronger academic foundations. Choose a tutor who can grow with your child and adapt to their changing needs throughout the school year.
