Approved Tutor Tuition Plan
What is "approved tutor" status?
-
There is a provision within the Virginia compulsory attendence code that allows parents and guardians to hire an "approved tutor" with a Virginia state teaching license.
-
This "approved tutor" develops, delivers, and monitors curriculum and instruction for a student instead of that student attending traditional public or private schools.
How does the "approved tutor" work?
-
The tutor provides the school system with a copy of his or her teaching license along with a letter stating that he or she will develop curriculum and deliver instruction for a designated period of time for a student.
-
Then the family works out a schedule for the "approved tutor" and the student to meet at a center to complete the course work. (daycare, sports complex, etc.)
What are the advantages of hiring an "approved tutor"?
-
There are no SOL test requirements.
-
The student is given personal attention to help emphasize his or her strengths and interests as a student.
-
The parent/guaridan does not have to create or purchase curriculum.
-
the parent/guardian does not have to provide proof of progress testing to the school system.
What is the role of the parent/guardian?
-
The parent/guaridian continues to support, encourage, and motivate their student and work closely with the tutor to ensure that the student is making progress towards his or her goals.
-
The tutor will also make recommendations to the parent/guardian of activities and discussions that the family can enjoy together.
-
Students deserve exceptional instruction that prepares them for their future and not just for one particular test.
-
Students have the opportunity to interact with experienced, licensed educators and work towards earning their high school diploma.
