How do you find tutors?

[halfdoctor]

How do you find suitable private tutors for your children? Word of mouth is a good way but any other good advice?

Facebook post in mums groups.

Www.findtutors.co.uk or similar site. You pay a small fee by means of intro

Even if a tutor comes highly recommended doesn't necessarily mean they are right for your child. Look on tutoring agencies like pp has posted and message a few tutors with your DC's needs and personality. Have a trial lesson or two (even if need to pay) and decide whether a right fit for your DC.

Teachers are better than tutors I think. At gcse.

Agree word of mouth. Ideally from parents of kids a year or two older than your kids - parents of kids in your child's year may not want to give up their child's edge by recommending the tutor they are using.

I agree with @OnlineMathsTuition - usually teachers in school will know other teachers from other schools that will tutor and can recommend.

I tutor for some subjects (online) and get most of my students this way.

What subject are you looking for?

It's all free online, look on youtube.

I mean a tutor that is also a teacher. Rather than a degree student.

I found a tutor by asking on the local Facebook group. There are lots of tutors for younger children, less for GCSE and few for A levels. It is also more expensive for A levels.

We found our tutor through a friend. Depending on where you’re based I’d be more than happy to recommend her via private message (she’s fab, we are in SW London).

There are entire Facebook groups dedicated to finding a tutor e.g. https://www.facebook.com/groups/northwesttutors/ or https://www.facebook.com/groups/541353976307796

Hi @Gettingresults11plus Please could you share the details you mentioned of the Latin/Greek tutor?
