Most of us would like to think our children are going to be scholars and soar through their education without hassle or complication. However, this is rarely the case. Your child can be extremely dedicated to their education, but could still have some problems grasping the concepts being taught to them. Or they may be the opposite; they could have no trouble at all learning the material, but they have little or no motivation. There are always those who are right in the middle, too. They don't have a problem learning, and they do as they are supposed to without much effort. But when do you need to consider bringing in a tutor?
For those students who are average, right in the middle of the extremes, the recommendation would be to let them go. If they are doing as they are supposed to and they are doing well enough, then you should congratulate them and encourage them. But for those children who work so very hard and struggle, or the ones who do not really care and do fine, perhaps then you should bring in a tutor.
The ones who work their tushies off and still cannot seem to get anywhere might need a change of pace, or a new way of looking at the material. A tutor can work one on one with them and approach the subject differently. The same idea goes with the child who is brilliant, but does not put forth the effort. Having a tutor could make things interesting for them. They could show the child a new way of looking at something so that they do not have to dread homework and studying.
It is more a judgment call on your part than anything. If you feel that your child would benefit with a tutor, then by all means, look in to it. But if you do not feel comfortable enough helping them on your own, then it is stressed even more that you get a tutor involved to simply insure that your child is getting the most help possible.
