00:0-1	at some point in your child's life , they will
00:02	need a mass twitter , some extra help which is
00:06	so normal now , most parents I work with tells
00:10	me that well I used to think finding someone who
00:13	is good at math that will be good enough twitter
00:16	for my child . Right . Not so You say
00:19	finding a Twitter is easy , but finding the right
00:23	one takes a little more work . Hi , I'm
00:25	dr phoenix panda performance culture at George math . We
00:28	use math to build confidence Today . I want to
00:31	share with you my tips on how to find a
00:35	good tutor and what the pitfalls for this process .
00:38	So you can benefit and find the right one for
00:41	your child . All right , let me introduce you
00:44	my 8020 rule . What is that ? Okay ?
00:47	So that 20% is really Finding someone who is good
00:52	at math to write on that one , but the
00:54	80% is what I really want to focus on today
00:58	. Um The 80% is really actually finding someone who
01:03	can help your child learn how to learn now .
01:06	That may be a new concept , maybe not .
01:08	So what do I mean by that ? So when
01:10	it comes to learning , especially like math , we
01:14	all have our own unique styles for some kids is
01:19	I learned through stories . They need to grab the
01:21	stories to be engaged . Some kids need a big
01:24	picture , so they want to see how this concept
01:27	fits in . Why am I learning this particular one
01:30	for other kids that they take comfort in repetition ,
01:35	That it gives them a sense of security . Still
01:38	others , maybe they need to talk through it .
01:41	They need to hear it first . Right ? So
01:43	a good tutor really needs to tune into your child
01:47	. It's not always easy thing , but with this
01:49	extra effort putting in finding the right person for your
01:52	child is so worth effort . All right , So
01:56	what does it look like if you can't find this
01:59	person ? Let me paint some pictures for you ,
02:02	what it looks like . Now , before we go
02:04	there , let me cover the pitfalls . You see
02:06	normally who you think is a good candidate for your
02:09	child As a math tutor might not be someone like
02:12	your child's Here's some entire retired engineers Or a math
02:19	teacher maybe lived down the street from you . Now
02:22	, those people know math , but that might not
02:25	be a good candidate for your child . Here's why
02:28	knowing math is only 20% . Remember What was the
02:33	other 80% . What would look like ? What you're
02:35	really looking for is actually someone who is good communicator
02:39	. So three things , right ? Let me go
02:42	through the first one , adaptive to child , which
02:45	is really important , adaptive to child . Second one
02:48	, the tutor who really want to identify with you
02:52	child struggle because when a child is struggle , it's
02:55	already a sore spot . It's a sensitive someone who
02:58	is good at math . Thin struggle through it may
03:02	not appreciate the kind of struggle your child is going
03:06	through and what a waste the opportunity that is because
03:09	a child can use that struggle . Actually turn the
03:12	thing around and build confidence with the struggle . Right
03:17	? All right . Three things to suggest that I
03:20	pass on to the clients I work with . Once
03:23	you find this person , how do you make the
03:25	most out of it ? three things . The first
03:28	one is make sure you're sitting in a sessions .
03:32	Don't just drop your child and say bye and then
03:34	an hour later , pick them up when you want
03:36	to sit in there to observe the interaction . Second
03:40	thing , when you do sit in the session ,
03:43	listen carefully . Who is doing the most talking working
03:47	? Because whoever is doing the most talking working is
03:50	doing the most work right ? If the tutor is
03:53	doing it on your child is not learning because the
03:56	tour is doing the work . But if your child
03:59	is doing the most talking , then what you don't
04:01	want to hear is what kind of question the quality
04:04	of the question your child is asking . For example
04:07	, I don't get it versus I see number three
04:11	and four step , you're doing this number five and
04:14	six . I'm little not quite sure . Can you
04:17	explain that again ? That's a good one . That's
04:19	what you want to hear for . And lastly make
04:23	sure you tell the twitter upfront , be frank ,
04:26	be honest with me if it's not working , let
04:29	me know as soon as possible . So you can
04:32	actually take your child and your child's math struggle get
04:36	it addressed elsewhere if needed . All right , so
04:40	here's the three tips . There anything else I want
04:43	to share with you ? Um This little opportunity don't
04:49	waste it . Childhood expires . So a mass struggle
04:53	is not an obstacle is actually an opportunity . If
04:57	you use the right , you can actually turn around
05:00	. So let me encourage you thinking think of this
05:05	mass struggle and finding a tutor as an opportunity ,
05:08	not an obstacle . Alright , on that note ,
05:12	thank you for watching . Come back for more tips
05:15	and insights and join our door to math community Until
05:19	next time . Happy parenting .
