Was gilt es bei der Suche nach einer Nachhilfe in Englisch zu beachten?
What do I need to consider when looking for English tutoring?
The most important factor when choosing a suitable tutor or tutoring institution is the level of sympathy between the child and the teacher. If this is not the case, there is usually a tense learning atmosphere and learning success often fails to materialize. It is therefore advisable for you to discuss the situation with your child and to be present during the first lesson, which should serve as a trial lesson, even if only in the background.
In addition to sympathy, competence on the part of the teacher is of course a basic requirement for tutoring in English, as for any other school subject. It is therefore essential that you ask about the qualifications of the prospective tutor and the experience he or she already has in teaching English.
It can also be helpful if you ask your child's English teacher at school or other parents about their experiences with private tutors. They may already be able to help you.
It makes sense not to take out a subscription right from the start, even if this seems cheaper at first glance. You or your child should first try out the tutoring sessions a few times, see whether there are already some successes after six weeks and whether your son or daughter feels comfortable with the situation. Only when you and your child are of the opinion that continuing the tutoring sessions could be promising is it worth taking out a subscription, if at all.
