A private tutor talked about some things that some parents don’t even think about.

I know what's going on in your family.

If it seems to parents that at private classes the child and the tutor only talk about topics related to the subject, this is not so. Often, the tutor knows too much about your family. Children talk a lot and don’t do it out of malice. Even a task as elementary as preparing a story about your family can reveal a lot of your personal details. This does not mean that you have to control every class and conversation, it means that you have to behave in the family circle in such a way that you will not have to blush later.

I not only help a child to obtain knowledge, I am also their psychologist.

Very often, children come to class depressed. In such cases, classes are not as productive as they could be, because a child thinks about internal problems instead of studying the material. A tutor in such cases is a person who can listen, understand and talk - a trusted adult who will not condemn.

A tutor is the desire of a child, not a parent!

There are parents who, by hook or by crook, are trying to force their child to learn something they don’t want to learn. French, music, drawing and other additional lessons that are interesting to parents, not the child. In such cases, it is a waste of money. It's hard to teach Spanish, knowing that the child dreams of China.

A tutor only comes for one hour a week. The rest is the responsibility of the parents.

By paying a tutor, you are not released from the obligation to help your child beyond classes. Without the help and support of parents between classes, there is no point in tutoring.

A tutor is not service staff, but part of the family.

Yes, this is a person who often spends more time with your child than their grandparents. Treat your tutor with respect and love. It helps your child become the best version of you.
