There are many organizations in the community such as a Learning Disabilities Association or Mental Health center that may offer tutoring free of charge or at a very nominal fee. Consult with these agencies if they are located in your area to find out what options you may have for your child or children.
Hiring a tutor is a large commitment. If you hire a tutor to help your child, make sure that you know his or her qualifications. Not all tutors have the same skills and education as a teacher does. Knowing the quality of their experience will help you to know if they are qualified to teach your child.
Writing help is important to give your child. A tutor will help to determine if your child needs help with writing such as with sentence structure or with the concept of writing. Through various activities that will open their world to writing, tutors will help to develop skills for a lifetime of use.
