Every child needs an individual approach, which means taking into account his or her level of intellectual ability, difficulties and interests during his or her studies. This will help to provide both children and parents with comfortable conditions and a calm atmosphere. In this regard, a child will have more motivation for development in a certain science.

A tutor is exactly an assistant and motivator that will accompany your child in her or his academic performance.

What learning problems do students face in schools?

Children often face different challenges at school. And this certainly affects the quality of their studying. But often the very quality of teaching in schools is also far from ideal. The reason for this is the large number of students in a classroom, which makes it impossible for a teacher to work with each student properly. Most schoolchildren often feel a lack of teacher attention.

All this can lead to the loss of a child's interest in learning. For example, in a situation where a child was preparing hard for lessons, but he/she was not asked several times. Such a student may feel that his or her efforts are of no interest to anyone. It happens that a teacher, on the contrary, asks a lot and strictly evaluates the same child.

Let us summarize the factors that negatively affect the efforts of school students:

teacher’s non-objectivity;
a teacher devotes too little time to a student;
too complicated and confusing method of material supply;
bad classroom discipline.

How to find the best teacher in Portland?

Finding a tutor is not a problem today. But the difficulty lies in choosing a professional, not an amateur. Here are some recommendations for doing this:

select authoritative tutoring sites for searching;
conduct a mini-interview with a tutor directly;
ask for documents about her/his education and teaching experience;
if necessary, ask a tutor if he/she has experience of passing certain exams and has relevant certificates;
inquire in detail about methods of work with different categories of students;

Ask a teacher to give your child a test lesson where you can attend and observe. This is especially important for young children.
