I’m trying to figure out whether we truly needs a tutor, or if they just need more consistent practice and better study habits at home. Sometimes I can’t tell if the struggle comes from not understanding the material, lack of confidence, or simply not practicing enough. I don’t want to rush into getting a tutor if it’s something we can improve with the right support and structure, but at the same time, I also don’t want to overlook signs that they might need extra guidance. What are the key signs that indicate a child would genuinely benefit from a tutor rather than just more practice? I’d really appreciate your thoughts and opinions on this.

My kid says 'I'm just bad at math'—how do I rebuild their confidence?
