How to find a high quality tutor for my child in Hastings MN?

1. Be informed - There is no licensure available for tutors in Hastings Minnesota. Therefore, it is important to seek out tutors with other credentials.

3. Define goals - You should have goals defined in advance, prior to meeting with a tutor. Ask yourself, what would I like for my child to accomplish via math tutoring? Make sure to relay these goals to the instructor.

4. Personality matters - It is a good idea to meet the tutor before hand to ensure that you, your child, and the tutor connect, and are on the same page.
