[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NP posting.  To the parent whose child is a strong student who meets with a good tutor twice a week for a total of $50, this sounds reasonable to me.  If your academics are part of your presentation, then why not the devote extra time to them?  I have many friends whose children spend more time and money each week on athletics coaching or music instruction outside what is offered in school, and in my opinion your academic supplementation is no different.

To the parent who has has already launched a successful young adult, you criticize tutoring as "the pressure to be perfect", but your child who works as a tutor appears to recognize and appreciate the benefits of tutoring, financial and otherwise, and as you say, he actually likes the kids that he has worked with.

First or second parent, I would like to work with either of your tutors.[/quote]

There are definitely benefits to my DC as a tutor -- where else is a 19 y.o. going to make such an easy $50 per hour?  Wait -- don't answer that.

Seriously, has your child gone to his/her teacher to ask for some extra help?  Our kids would go early in the morning to meet with their teachers before school started.  You'd be surprised much progress they can make in 20-30 minutes once or twice per week.    [/quote]
