Hey parents, wondering if you guys face any trouble in compatibility of tutors? For example do you think personality is important? My son is mischievous and just hates doing homework.. While the tutors I have hired previously are diligent and good, they seem to be almost too nice and were not able to assert their weight. Any advice here in hiring the appropriate tutor or assessing them prior to selecting them?


Sorry for the lengthy post, but how do you guys usually search for tutors? and what is the range of prices you consider to be acceptable?

Thank you!

Yes, I think Personality is important. That's why I think having an agent helps. I'm a coordinator myself. I said this not because I want the job, but I think having a coordinator helps you to screen through and understand your needs, before confirming.
My mum used to hire tutor for me and she fired quite a few because of improper dressing, not teachingg well.

Just my 2 cents worth.
