Expert advice on deciding whether to hire a tutor and finding the best person for the job
This is the first book aimed at helping parents decide whether or not to hire a tutor, how to find the right tutor, how to tell if the tutoring is working out, and when to stop or get a different tutor. A Parent's Guide to Tutors and Tutoring also introduces a new approach to tutoring that requires well-trained tutors who can adjust to the unique needs--temperament, hard-wiring, gender issues, weaknesses, and strengths--of an individual child.
Jim Mendelsohn (New York, NY) is a highly regarded private tutor who also teaches at NYU, and has taught at Harvard, the Dalton School, Boston University, and MIT. He lectures, trains, and conducts workshops as an advocate of his new approach to tutoring.
