Meeting
Tutors -
Safety for
you and the
Tutor
Make
sure that you
speak with
your tutor on
the telephone
before your
first session.
Since you are
finding
him/her
online, you
want to make
sure that
he/she is a
legitimate
tutor. Do not
be afraid to
ask your tutor
questions
about
himself/herself
and his/her
qualifications
and even for
proof of
certain
accomplishments.
You are going
to be paying
this person
money to help
you so you
have the right
to question
his/her
abilities. Do
not rely on
email alone to
schedule your
tutoring
sessions.
Miscommunications
are bound to
occur if this
is your only
means of
contact.
Contacting
their school
or their
school's
website can
usually
confirm a
tutors
bona-fides.
Initially you
will not know your
tutor on a
personal basis.
Tutoring
sessions
should be held
in a quiet yet
visible area.
This is highly
recommended
for the
protection of
the tutors
themselves. If you
are not
comfortable
with you tutor
for any
reason, don't
hesitate to
tell him/her
and try to
improve the
situation.
There is no
reason for you
to continue
paying for
tutoring when
you are not
able to fully concentrate on
your material.
