Once a match has been found and a tutor has been decided upon, it is important to set clear goals and to make sure you know what is being taught and when. It can be highly beneficial to create a partnership between you, your child's teacher, and the tutor.
Key points of each session to look out for are an interactive learning experience, with the tutor guiding the child through direct teaching and guided practice.
