DD is in year 9 and is struggling a little with maths because her teacher is rubbish at explaining things. So I have decided to get a tutor to basically recap the topics she has covered and enable her to understand the work.
She has managed to keep her place in the top set, but I can see her slipping down if this situation continues. I have already contacted the head of maths who has made the excuse that DD has to get used to a different teaching method. Well, this teaching method doesn't work for her.
I have registered with First Tutors and already received loads of replies. I would like to know how to proceed further. I would prefer to meet the tutors first before embarking down this route. I would also like DD to feel comfortable with the tutor.
Is it usual to carry out interviews before engaging a tutor?
The tutor would come to the house BTW.
