Finding a good tutor for your children

I tutor Primary aged children from home and there has been one thing which continues to amaze me. None of my parents or carers have asked to see my qualifications before handing their children over to me to tutor and help. Only one or two of them have even asked me what I did in before I started tutoring.

I have had a CRB check too which I have never been asked about either. How can parents and careers be so trusting in this day and age? You just have to hear the news to know how often children are being harmed by those in whose care they are intrusted. I am aware that there are many tutors who haven’t got any kind of teaching qualification but perhaps they have the knowledge to pass on in a given subject through a university degree. I would strongly urge anyone who is looking for a tutor to help their child, to make sure that they know enough about the person into whose educational care they are placing their child!!
