I'm speaking from my other life now as a tutor.
A tutor is a professional educator, not someone who is currently taking the course and doing well in it.
The best tutor has taught the subject and grade level you need help with for years and is current with state testing requirements.
A tutor has resources at their fingertips to help the student.
The best tutors know how to write curriculum (just in case the state you live in decides to change the standards and the publishers haven't caught up yet.)
Wonderful tutors can explain things in simple terms so that anyone can understand.
Great tutors in Math can make up any type of problem you need on the spot.
You (or your student) will start to understand better from the first session.
A fantastic tutor will teach you their own tricks for solving problems and answering questions.
A great tutor will have much patience with you and give you their undivided attention during tutoring sessions.
This tutor spends from 1-2 hours preparing for each one hour session of tutoring with a student.
Professional tutors are worth far more than they charge.
