Where can I find a 9th Grade Home School Tutor who will come to our house in Gulfport, MS?

Question

My daugther is 14 and in the 9th grade. Because of my illness, we need a home school tutor who will come to our house in Gulfport, Mississippi, to help her complete virtual online school courses (help her understand, ensure she completes all courses on time, etc).

Answer 1

Your 14yo should be able to work fairly independently. If she's really lost, then she can contact the virtual teacher and ask for help. She can learn to set up a schedule and keep you informed about how far she's at--this will be far more beneficial to her than using an outside adult as a crutch to keep her in line . There's really no need to pay a tutor for this.  Your daughter needs to learn to be responsible for her education.

If you absolutely feel the need to have a tutor, you can look it up in the yellow pages. Have someone come for an hour each week to work on scheduling with your daughter and to briefly go over things she may have had problems with.
