It is obvious to want a teacher with high qualifications, but the focus should be on how effective his/her teaching is and not merely on how highly qualified he/she is. You should look for whether the teacher explains the concepts in a simple and detailed manner, and is not just trying to complete the text book exercises; or that the student should mug up on their subject. We naturally have qualified teachers in schools and colleges but they are more keen to finish the course up in a most general style; but when you seek a home tutor you want a specific style that goes well with your child, otherwise why look for a home tutor at all? Within one or two class sessions the student and the tutor must have a bond of understanding. Rest of the things like demanding ID and address proof from a home tutor is too obvious, but is a must.

First of all parents should look the background of teachers family and teachers career so that they can be 50percent sure.Then parents must look that whether teacher is a good motivator or not because study without motivation or inspiration is a dead rubber game.Then the last thing come that whether student is satisfied with teachers convincing ability.

A home tutor has a unique role in a child's life as they get individual attention of the child, so they should be social, very good at communication and also engage the child outside of the lesson or subject. They should be receptive to the child's needs and not rush towards the completion of the chapter, rather they should use the time they get with the child wisely and try to holistically develop him/her.
