Best Math Tutors in Racine, WI

My subject areas include all areas of English and Language Arts, public speaking, speech therapy, humanities, and ESL instruction. Sometimes students need assistance with history and social studies writing assignments, and I can assist with these, too. When I assist with standardized tests, I only focus on the English, reading, and writing portions of those exams. I do not tutor in math or science but can recommend other tutors for these disciplines.

No. Parents of my younger students usually drop students off at the library and pick them up when the tutoring session is over. At least one parent is usually at home when I conduct at-home tutoring sessions, but I do ask that parents not "sit in" on the sessions. High school and college students routinely meet without their parents being present. Regardless of the student's age, I will send parents follow-up reports on a regular basis.

I strongly recommend that students meet with me once a week on a scheduled day and time. If you desire to meet on a bi-monthly basis, be aware that bi-monthly meetings are more difficult to schedule: I can usually provide bi-monthly meeting times in the mornings or early afternoons, but not in the evenings after school gets out.

There are several ways to verify a tutor's qualifications. Many of us who tutor are retired teachers. The easiest way to verify a tutor's credentials is to contact a retired teacher's school human resource department. I was a full professor at College of Lake County for 23 years, and CLC's human resource department will verify my teaching position and years of experience. Tutors should also undergo background checks. In order to be listed with the Libertyville School District as a qualified tutor, I have passed the necessary state and federal background checks. Sometimes the best qualification is often simply word of mouth: I always encourage potential clients to talk with other parents about experiences they have had with tutors.

In Chicago and suburbs, qualified tutors usually charge from $45 to $60 per hour, depending on the subject and years of experience. Often, you can find college students who will tutor for less. Licensed teachers with teaching experience will generally charge higher rates. Experienced qualified tutors are in high demand and often have limited availability. As the old saying goes, "You get what you pay for."
