“To get the best help possible, start with a reliable referral — say, a favorite teacher at your child’s school — then focus on credentials and experience. Ask learning centers where they find tutors and if they do background checks; if tutors are certified teachers, that’s a good sign. Then get references: Ask past clients if the child’s grades went up, if the tutor was reliable and, most important, if the tutor and child had a good rapport.”
