I don't know how to pick a good tutor for my child

Your options, best first

#1 Do it yourself

Shortlist and test a tutor

  1. Write down the goal (grade, skill, test) and the learner's age.
  2. Read 3 profiles each and compare subject experience, reviews and listed rate.
  3. Message 2 or 3 tutors with the same questions.
  4. Book a short first session and sit in or stay reachable.
  5. Decide after the first session whether the style fits your child.

Safety: Any tutor working with a minor should have a background check on file; ask to see the badge and its date.

Stop and call a pro if: A tutor pushes you to pay or chat off the platform, or avoids questions about experience.
