[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We use it based on teachers.  My DS took Spanish 5 and got 100% on every single assignment.  I doubt this given his track record in past years.  So we hired the tutor knowing that when he goes to AP Spanish, with the department head teaching, it will be a wake-up call.

I think it's fair to have a tutor if your child is in public school.  Resources are skimpy and not all public school teachers, as hard as they try and even if they are superb, are able to help every student with proper feedbacks.[/quote]

+1.

To the people that are trying to stigmatize tutoring: shame on you.  I only care if the kid learned something. Does it matter how?

I really hate the attitude: my kid is so smart he doesn't need help and finds every class he took easy.  [/quote]

Why?  It’s the truth. Many kids are really smart and don’t need any help.   You seriously have a problem with that statement?

My son has a learning disability and had tutors off and on.   My daughter’s not too bright friends have tutors to help pass their classes.  My daughter does fine at her college level classes.  I’m not going to get a tutor to try and push her into AP classes.  She’s right where she should be ability wise.

What happens to these kids who have tutors with every single class and a tutor editing every single paper?  [/quote]

My kid is smart but the extra support and being able to ask questions 1-1 really helps.[/quote]
