Current School Teacher Better Than Full Time Private Tutor?
|
|
I received this email from a student :
I just want to ask: I realize that most of the tutors on your website are full-time private tutors. I have heard that current school teachers tend to be more familiar with the syllabus compared to full-time private tutors and I wonder if that's true? If that's the case, if one has the money, would you recommend hiring a current school teacher or a full-time private tutor?
Thanks.
The Response:
It is absolutely a myth as far as current school teachers being more acquainted with the mainstream syllabus is concerned. I would not recommend you to hire someone solely on the basis that he/she is a current school teacher (or a full time private tutor for that matter); what is of utmost importance would be gathering some form of understanding with regards to his/her vision of helping you achieve better grades, and deciding whether you can warm up considerably to his/her style of coaching. Don't forget personal teaching track records and academic backgrounds should also feature within your core selection criteria. All the best in your search for someone suitable.
