Top-Tier Tutoring Releases Podcast That Offers Advice About the Benefits of Private Tutoring

In his latest podcast, Mike Rivera of Top-Tier Tutoring sheds light on how the right private tutor can benefit remedial, achieving and superlative students.

West Orange, NJ, June 20, 2010 --(PR.com)-- In its latest podcast, Top-Tier Tutoring presents guidance about private tutoring: caveat emptor, or “buyer beware” certainly applies. To listen to the podcast, go to www.bit.ly/awyCi8.

During the podcast, co-founder, tutor and college counselor Mike Rivera of Top-Tier Tutoring discusses various reasons why parents seek individual tutoring for their children, such as to look for help in a specific subject, academic challenge and standardized test preparation. The podcast offers parents a list of questions to ask a prospective tutor or tutoring center about one-on-on tutoring, including questions about the teaching methodology.

“Most parents think that if they hire a private tutor for their child, the lessons will be based on the topics the student needs help with,” states Rivera. He continues: “Surprisingly, some tutors and tutoring centers have curriculum-based lessons, regardless of whether the tutoring is done in a group setting or individually. Parents need to know exactly what services they are purchasing so that the desired result is achieved. In the podcast, I offer concrete questions to ask concerning how lessons are tailored for the student’s individual learning needs and why private, non-curriculum based tutoring is preferable.”

Top-Tier Tutoring releases several podcasts during the month dealing with issues of interest to high school students and their families.
