Spotlight on one of Our Terrific Tutors

Friday, February 12th, 2010

Wow, one of my tutors is a movie-maker!  He was featured in the local paper. Read on for more info about him. This is what is so great about contracting with all kinds of educators!  They all bring so many life experiences to the tutoring sessions, as well as practical instruction. I feel very luck to have Jeff associated with Bright Apple!

High schoolers tutoring kids?

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

My daughter just completed her last Spanish II tutoring session.  She has a final this week and next week and her tutor said she is more than prepared.  She’s had one of our tutors since September.  When her tutor was leaving today, she suggested that my daughter tutor Spanish I this summer to stay sharp.  Hannah is only 15, a straight A student taking all Honors classes and is a freshman.  I never thought of her tutoring before since we only contract with professional teachers and tutors.  It is an interesting idea, though. A good way for a bright student to keep her skills sharp and help someone else and the price would be more reasonable.

My experience with my clients has been that they do not feel comfortable with a high school tutor.  I would be interested to know your thoughts. Post a comment and give me  your opinion!
