What questions should I ask when first talking with this resource?
Tutor.com provides a brief bio of each tutor; you should review this and then ask the tutor about their previous tutoring experience including descriptions of the age and type of students they feel most comfortable with. You may also want to ask specific details to determine how familiar they are with the material your child is studying in school. I would also ask for an estimate of how many sessions the tutor recommends for students with a profile similar to your childs.

What other things should I consider when selecting a tutor or tutoring service?
Think about what you expect from the tutoring relationship. Do you want the tutoring face-to-face or online? Which style would best fit your child's learning style? You should also try to identify who sponsors thewebsite and what their experience is in the field of education. Tutor.com identifies itself as a partner of The Princeton Review, which is a familiar name to parents of older students because of the review and other materials they publish.
