5 Signs Your Child Needs a Tutor*

It can be difficult to work out whether or not your child needs extra help, so we have been working with an independent school in Cardiff to share the 5 signs.

Trouble Meeting Deadlines

Deadlines can be hard for any child to meet but if your child hasn’t been able to make a start or has consistently been handing in their work late, it may be a sign.

Your Child’s Homework Is Too Difficult to Understand

Over the years the national curriculum has evolved, and it is far from what we were once taught. It’s not surprising that there are a few questions that you’re unable to answer and that is where a qualified tutor that knows the subject can help.

A Lack of Motivation for School

If your child is showing a shift in their attitude towards learning, it might be a sign that they are struggling. Often when children struggle in class, they distract themselves from their work or others. If your child is displaying this behaviour, having some time to listen to their concerns can help.

Your Schedule Has Changed

Has your schedule changed, and do you feel as though you have less time to spend on homework with your child? Sometimes as parents we can be rushed off our feet, whether it be having to focus on another child, work or a new addition to your family. Tutoring sessions can free up your time while making sure that homework is covered.

They Are Falling Behind Their Peers

There is no shame in needing a tutor for your child. Sometimes an environment where your child is able to have one-to-one attention, raise questions and voice their struggles is all it takes. It can give your child the confidence they need to overcome their struggles and even out-perform their peers.
