GETUTOR5 elementary tutoring tips for parents:
1. Helping students prepare for primary remedial classes
Although the process and effectiveness of tutoring depends largely on the tutor and the student. But as a parent, there are also things you can do to help your students prepare for the classroom.
Just like teachers at school, most elementary tutors provide students with homework as if they were homework. We recommend that parents take a little time before class to check whether students have completed their homework, which will greatly improve the effectiveness of tutoring.
2. Provide suitable environment and equipment
If you choose home tutoring, please reserve a tutoring area, which can be a desk or a room. Please note that it must be a quiet place to ensure that students, especially elementary school students, are not distracted during tuition.
If you choose online tutoring, please ensure that the tutoring location has a smooth network and no one else needs to use the computer during the tutoring session.
Also, make sure students have everything they need for class, including paper and pencils. Parents may also need to prepare snacks and drinks for students and teachers if the tutoring process is several hours long!
3. Maintain good communication with tutors
Parents, please follow up with your primary school tutor, tutoring agency, and students to follow up on the tutoring situation. This allows parents to be a part of it too, and can detect any tutoring problems earlier.
When primary school students and tutors encounter difficulties in class, they are sometimes more willing to tell their parents about the situation. Therefore, maintaining communication, especially don’t forget to maintain communication with students, can help students experience high-quality tutoring.

If you have a good relationship with the teachers at your school, you can even talk to them about how your students are doing in school, so you can evaluate whether the tutoring class is effective!
