[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know some parents who have, but it takes quite a while to be trained/ complete practicum hours.  I considered it, but my child and I don't have a great teacher/ student dynamic.  She needed me more as her mom than tutor.  And I needed to not be her teacher so I could focus on her gifts instead of challenges.

For home schooling families I think it makes a lot of sense, plus it opens up a job as a tutor for other kids later on.

My son was the same way - he really needed to have someone else teach him. It was still a very vulnerable and difficult process for him to open up and engage with the tutor. With me he just refused. He is now 12, OG tutoring is many years behind us, but we still find that when academic issues crop up (he has dyscalculia as well) an outside tutor or specialist is needed to get him on track. He needs me to just love him and cheer for him and feed him and pick him up when he falls down, which, given his challenges, he does quite a bit.[/quote]
