OXFORD, ENGLAND, October 22, 2010 (Press-News.org) Adam Caller, education consultant and senior partner of private tuition provider Tutors International, calls for parents to be aware of the correlation between hourly rates and quality of private tutoring provision, warning parents that employing a tutor with a low hourly rate could prove to be a false economy and risk the quality of tuition being provided. For more information, visit http://www.tutors-international.com or call +44 (0) 1865 435 135.
"Recent contact with a number of parents at the enquiry stage has revealed that there is a general lack of appreciation for the skills and professionalism of top quality private tutors," said Adam Caller. "To give you an example, when discussing the salary we expect our tutors to receive, a parent believed that the provision of luxury accommodation could somehow offset the cost of the tutor. I pointed out that in doing so, the hourly rate of the tutor would be less than that of an unskilled labourer," Adam explained, "and that such a salary would be offensive to a highly qualified professional educated to degree level. The provision of accommodation and flights home is expected as part of the contract and have no impact upon the tutor's monthly salary."
"When I see tutors being paid as little as fourteen pounds an hour, it makes me wonder how they can provide such a critical and demanding service for such a low wage," Adam commented. "Tutors International employs only the best private tutors and pays them a salary that reflects their expertise, just as in any other industry. I would caution parents believing that they have got a good deal when they find a tutor with a low hourly rate to consider whether that tutor has the required level of professionalism and self-respect to teach for that amount. When one considers the impact that person will have on a child," Adam concluded, "the goal should always be to employ a professional tutor with excellent self-esteem and confidence in the quality of education they provide, and such individuals should be paid what they deserve."
