  • Believe that I will deliver on my hourly rate

  • Understand that real results take time, and different students progress at different rates

  • Have an open-minded attitude to online tutoring

  • Have both the parent and teen believe that tutoring will be beneficial

  • Keep a consistent schedule throughout the school year

  • Start the inquiry process by asking "how much do you charge?"

  • Look for tutors on the basis of low cost

  • Expect a level of progress in grades or ability that is unrealistic for your teenager

  • Believe that the student won't learn well because we're online

My superstar student DOES

My superstar student DOESN'T

  • demonstrate personal responsibility for learning

  • complete the required homework with care, if given

  • understand that your tutor is experienced and making decisions in your best interest when it comes to learning math

  • follow instructions as best as possible

  • Expect to be spoonfed, ask for a chapter summary, ask questions a calculator can answer, ask "can you teach me the assignment?" etc.

  • Leave the homework until the day it is due, by which point what was learned last session is now a blur

  • Ignore advice about how to handle a type of problem, continue to do it his or her own way, then wonder why it was so long, complicated, and wrong. Or, argue with me if I peg mastery level to be lower than what the student thinks it is.

  • Ignore explicit instructions
