How to pick the right tutor (beyond the profile photo)

Teaching style, communication, and fit matter more than hourly rate alone.

Start with your child's learning style: does they need patience and encouragement, or firm structure and exam drills?

Book a trial lesson and ask the tutor how they report progress to parents. Consistent post-lesson updates are a strong signal of professionalism.

Ex-MOE teachers bring curriculum familiarity; full-time tutors often offer flexible slots. Match the tutor type to your goal — confidence vs grade jump.
