Looking for a stand-out tutor for your teen? Here are some things your tutor should be doing with your student to ensure the best experience possible:
1. Maintain a balance
Though the student and coach should have rapport, the sessions should always focus on getting work accomplished. It is important that the student enjoy the sessions and feel comfortable. A good tutor can accomplish this while keeping forward progress and maintaining a good balance between work and fun.
2. Have a Plan for In-between
Your student should come away from every session with a clear directive on what to work on between then and the next session. This is important so that every week there is no time wasted trying to remember what they did last. They can simply pick up where they left off and the student can update the tutor on their progress.
3. Be willing to admit when they don’t know
Though tutors are highly trained in their areas, from time to time there comes a problem, a method, or a prompt that they just need more information on. It is not the job of the tutor to make assumptions on what the teacher/professor wants, but to encourage the student to get clarity on the expectation from the teacher/professor and report back. Any work that is done in the sessions can be shared with the instructor for feedback, and then the student can work with the tutor to make any adjustments.

With the help and guidance from ACS, I was able to graduate college (which I never thought could happen) and have helped me land my dream job right out of college! Thank you ACS!! “
