When people think of tutors they think of high school students or university students tutoring each other french or something else on an American film - you never think you might have to hire one for your kids and so when your little one starts struggling at school, it's not many people's first choice to start hiring tutors. In this article I will advise you when its the best time to start thinking of a tutor, if your child really does need tutoring and what tutor you should choose (even if it's not me). As soon as you see grades slipping or see that your child might not be coping at school, then it's the best time for a tutor - delaying this could cause them to unnecessarily fall behind in school curriculum or cause a possible drop in confidence levels essential to school.

My name is Desré and as a student teacher living in a country with a matric pass rate of 37.3%, I understand that something has to be done to retake the academic power that has been exploited in our nation. Students are unable to complete their high school careers due to family poverty, poor choices or a multitude of other reasons.
