  Case: Retake Assessments
I allow students to come and retake. However, they must meet the requirement that they see me for tutoring. I do have a few students who have their own tutors, so I allow them to meet with them instead of staying after with me. However, I have a student who complains because their tutor continues to tell him that there are not correct answers within the choices given on the test they are going over. I prove to the student that there is and encourage him to come see me for tutoring. He doesn't, he continues with his own tutor. Again, it happens, but this time I have the students prove to me why the correct answer is what it is. It is like the tutor isn't understanding the concepts we are completing in class. How is he supposed to retake if his tutoring can't even guide him correctly? What should I do?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Since the student prefers an outside tutor, it is probably also the parents choice as well. You should have a conference with the parents, and invite the tutor. This would be an opportunity to discuss the students academics, as well as show the tutor strategies that you are teaching in class. The tutor could then use these strategies with the student to further enhance learning. By doing this, you would be meeting the student and families needs, while providing the tutor with an eye-opening view of how you teach, and what you expect.

Comments: Bringing the tutor into the classroom and showing him/her how your classroom works will help them to see what you are doing within the classroom. Making sure that the two of you are on the same page is beneficial to tutor and the student.
