When tutors place their interests above the student’s, many things can go wrong from here:
1. Tutor cancels classes frequently
2. During Exam Period, tutor cancels classes at the last moment
3. Frequent rescheduling

How Can We Avoid These Tutors?
One way is to check the reviews of the tuition agency.
If the tuition agency has Bad Tutors or Poor Service, you will see some reviews/testimonials online.
With so many tutors to choose from, here are some categories of Tutors to avoid, based on our vast experience in this industry so far. (See – How to find the best home tutor?)

These 5 types of tutors you should avoid
1. Tutors with imperfect subject knowledge although he/she has a master degree
2. Tutors who cannot commit Long-term
3. Tutors with Average Qualifications
4. Frequent Rescheduling of classes
5. Tutors who don’t have qualifications, which they claim
These tutors are harmful than helpful for your child.
1. Tutors with imperfect subject knowledge although he/she has a master degree
Many tutors are qualified in terms of qualifications and look experienced.
But they don’t have experience which tuition agency/tutor claims?
Sometimes they are the persons who have lost their job or working part-time along with their job.
They don’t have teaching experience or deep subject knowledge compared to a professional tutor, their charges also may be less.
Parents become happy as they have found out a qualified and experienced tutor at reasonable charges.
Solution: Ask the detail of students, who he or she has taught in the last 2-3 years and if any in your locality. You may judge the teacher yourself.
2. Tutors who cannot commit Long-term
Always ensure your tutor will provide his or her service for at least 1 year.
Some Parents are informed only 1 week before that the tutor will not continue.
Imagine your child facing the hardship of adapting to new tutors constantly. Or even worse, changing tutors just before their exams!
Tutors who have already decided to discontinue the tuition, lost the sense of responsibility for their results as they are not going to teach your child till exams.
Also, as they are only doing it for the money, they will only come for classes when they need the money, and cancel when they don’t.
3. Tutors with Average Qualifications
Sometimes tutors with average qualifications may not be proved, good teachers
unless they have a good track record of producing students with remarkable results or taught many years in School/Coaching institutes.
Solution: Make sure to verify the Tutor’s credentials before engaging them!
