Some parents may initially choose to search independently for a tutor directly. Whilst this is amongst some parents’ approach of searching for a tutor, here are some reasons why you may want to use a tutoring agency:
1.Tutoring agencies vet their tutors thoroughly.
As a tutoring agency, we spend time to perform background checks and go through academic transcripts to ensure they have proper credentials. We also interview them personally.
2. Reliability and quality of tutors are generally more through an agency.
Tutors working through an agency will generally be more accountable and reliable. The standard and consistency of lessons will be expected to be higher. If a tutor becomes suddenly unavailable for any reason, an agency will seek to replace that particular tutor in the shortest time possible with minimal to no disruptions.
3. Tutoring agencies have a broad database of tutors.
One of the roles of an agency is to be able to be good at providing recommendations of tutors to their clients. We do this by gathering regular feedback from clients to allow us to pass this onto future prospective clients. Moreover, every tutor is unique and offers something slightly different. We will select the tutor who we personally feel would be most compatible for your child based on your requirements.
4. If either the tutor or client / student is unhappy for any reason, the agency will always endeavour to establish a solution as efficiently as possible.
The agency acts as the mediator should this be necessary. In the unlikely event that either party is dissatisfied, the agency will usually seek to resolve the solution in the best way possible without having to necessarily directly involve the tutor and client / student.
5. Agents are often experienced tutors
In the case of Teleios Tutors, we know what being a private tutor means. Being experienced tutors ourselves, we generally have a very good idea of what works and what doesn’t in the long run. Even if a tutor has delivered an excellent rapport and results with one student, in our experience, it does not necessarily mean this will be the case for another. Every working relationship is unique and never the same, and this is very much the case in every tutor and student relationship. We consider many factors when determining what will likely develop into a successful working relationship that will ultimately help the student obtain sustainable results.
Finding the right tutor who can really drive your child in the right direction can truly enhance your child’s education experience. Spending quality personal time with an experienced tutor can save an enormous amount of time figuring it all out yourself in the long run.
We have helped transformed a huge number of students’ academic results through our recommendation and established a great rapport with our tutors and parents. We look forward to continue to develop and evolve as a company and excited to continue building great relationships with our tutors and clients in 2016.
