My career passions have been in the teaching and mentoring students, application of analytical methods to trading, finance, medicine, and retail, and to the invention of original methods for solving difficult problems.

In the contemporary world of constant innovation and a huge information flow, both children and adults find it difficult to keep up in different disciplines. Especially since everyone has disciplines to pay more attention to, while not missing other subjects. This is what a tutor is for, and he/she can save a child from possible academic failure.
The school education system unfortunately has a number of shortcomings. And the main one is the limited time of a lesson and the teacher’s inability to give quality time to all students. And after all, everyone's knowledge needs are different, since there may be students in one classroom with thoroughly different levels of training. In addition, children do not have a high degree of independence and have difficulty catching up on lost material themselves.
Even if a strong student misses countless classes, he or she will also need additional help in explaining the topics. Much depends on the teaching methods and the character of a teacher. Excessive rigor or softness definitely do not lead to good academic performance. The loss of the desire to learn is also a consequence of the boring manner of teaching.
Finding a private teacher is not a problem. It is much harder to make the right choice, to find a real expert on the first try. Naturally, in large cities there are no other ways to find a tutor than thanks to the Internet. You can use various search sites, groups in social networks, parent forums, websites of educational institutions and so on.
The best option is when you can familiarize yourself with certificates of a tutor and somehow clearly verify his/her experience. And you can only do this by visiting popular tutoring sites. You can focus on the following indicators:
In fact, to find a reliable teacher, you first need to find a reliable website. And then use the site's search systems for further selection.
