What You Should Look For in a Tutor
By Heather Eagar
It can be challenging to decide what to look for in a tutor. You know that you want to find a person who can satisfy you or your child's academic needs. However, you also want to make sure the person has a great personality and is able to understand learning insecurities. To make the process a little bit easier, it's good to review some standard things to look for in a tutor. This way, you can make a better determination of who will be right for your or your child.
Review the Tutor's Qualifications
One of the first criteria that it's great to look for in a tutor is his or her qualifications. You want to know that the person has the credentials necessary to make a truly effective impact. It's important to be as specific as possible when checking credentials; you don't want to overlook any important questions that could potentially result in your dissatisfaction down the line. For instance, if your child is in 5th grade and needs help with geography, you're going to need a very different tutor than one who is qualified to teach 10th grade Algebra. And if you need your own tutor for college courses, you want to make sure the tutor is qualified for your level of education, and not just 3rd grade reading. Also, you want to make sure that your tutor can identify and feels comfortable with you or your child's learning style. And if there are any special learning disability needs that should be addressed, you want a tutor who knows how to address them.
Check Out the Tutor's Track Record
Another important factor to look at when deciding who to choose as a tutor is the track record. This is slightly different than looking at the qualifications, because you're now investigating the success rate. This might include how much higher students' test scores have risen after being tutored by them, how many students' classroom grades have improved, how much better has homework completion been, and most importantly, how many stellar surveys from students and parents does the tutor have to show off. The more stats and details the tutor has to offer recording progress, the better. So before you accept someone for the position, don't be shy about asking for information on their track record.
Find A Tutor Who Works with Your Child's Teacher
Of course, this scenario really only suits the tutor who will be working with your child, but it's good to find one who is equipped and prepared to keep in close contact with your child's teacher. Because the tutor will need to understand exactly what the teacher is trying to relay in class - and your child may not be able to communicate this well - it's good to have the tutor talk to the teacher. This way, he or she can understand how to foster academic growth in your child according to the teacher's wishes. There are probably a million other things ways to make sure you've found the right tutor. However, by taking the steps necessary to explore the tutors out there, you can make sure you're going to find the right one.
math problem- triangle inscribed in a circle (5th grade geometry)?
I’m a math tutor and this one had me stumped. This girl i tutor is in math class and they have been learning about circles and radiuses and geometry. she called over the phone and described a problem to me. she said she has to find the area of an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle. Nothing is known about the circle or the triangle except that the length of all sides of the triangle is 14. Now remember, she is in 5th grade, so she can’t use the pythagorean theorem OR trigonometry. How on earth will she find the area of the triangle?
in geometry what is it that all sides and angles are not equal?
5th grade geometry math
If the figure in question has three sides, then it is a Scalene Triangle.
If the figure in question has more than three sides, there isn’t a special name, we simply call it “Irregular”
So, a four sided polygon with no two sides or angles congruent would be called an Irregular Quadrilateral.
A five sided polygon with no two sides or angles congruent would be called an Irregular Pentagon.
And so on…
geometry math 5th grade homework please helpp?

i’m a mathlete in class but I have huge problems with geometry. Can u help me answer this math 5th grade??????
Please state the solution if you want.
1) A child glued together 42 cubes with 1 cm edges to form a solid rectangular brick. i fthe perimeter of the base is 18 cm, what is the height of the brick?
Here’s another geometry related question:
2) How many segments have their endpoints that are vertices of a cube?
Out of 100 items, that’s the only two things I do not understand and all of them are geometry related. Please explain your answer. thank you, I really wanna ace this one to cover up my quite average grades back then.
yah, I agree with you, question #2 is icomplete.
1) The height is 3 cm, and the base is 2 cm x 7 cm. This can be figured out by first trying out a height of 1 cm, then of 2 cm, then of 3 cm, before the solution is discovered. Good old trial and error.
2) My best guess is that the segments are those forming a cube, being connected at the vertices. Obviously, there’s 12 of them, just count them. Now, the maximum number of lines that can be drawn between vertices of a cube is 12 more on the faces of the cube (6 crossed pairs), and 3 more diagonals going through the center of the cube, making 27 in all. The question is not clear for which answer it wants.
5th grade math level…how to teach myself math?
I’m trying to apply for a big school overseas and my math killed me on the SAT. I got a 300 (yeah I know, sucks). I’m ridiculously right brained artistic type, great at English and History, but I’ve got a learning disorder when it comes to math, I just can’t learn it the way they teach it traditionally. I need to see pictures and schools aren’t about teaching math in a right-brained fashion. But I need to somehow learn it if I’m going to go anywhere in life apparently. Is there anyway I can teach myself? I’ve got another year until I’ve got to send applications out, so in that time, I guess I can strengthen my foundations of math, start with fractions, work my way up to basic algebra and maybe learn a bit of geometry. I mean it’s possible to learn right? Are there any really good books I can get to train myself in math all the way from the ground up? I’m not talking math for dummies, I think I need some heavy duty help, serious books. Are there also any math-mentoring programs for adults? I know there are English-mentoring programs for adults but traditional tutoring has never worked for me. I need someone who is really on top of my learning style, but that’s why I thought it would probably be better just to teach myself. So any books, mentors, or advice?
I think that without further information this problem is impossible. Are you sure that she hasn’t gone over the Pythagorean Theorem? Maybe she forgot the term. I know I went over it in fifth grade.
