[QUOTE="dadside, post: 233503, member: 5707"] I never faced the same need, and really would like to have a sure-fire way to get him motivated. Still, perhaps having a good, respected high school boy come to your house two or three times a week for an hour or two each time could help your son get his work done and see that the more-respected students really do it themselves. Once a week wouldn't be enough to foster any good continuity, at least not early on. A high school student could be a good role model for studying the subject matter (and getting assignments done), and having a boy would avoid any girl-distraction potential. And doing it at your house would mean your son presumably would have all he needed there. My understanding is that the "professional tutor companies" tend to follow their own script on subject matter, and may not do so much with individual assignments. In any case, you'd lose the role model potential a high school student could offer. Finding a good student tutor might be achieved through your high school's counseling office. [/QUOTE]
