What is the role of parents in tutoring?

Smaller than most parents expect, and it still matters. The useful parts are protecting the time so the class is not moved every week, making sure the short work set between classes actually gets done, and reading the monthly report. The unhelpful parts are sitting on screen throughout, which makes most children perform rather than think, and asking daily whether they are improving. You are welcome in any class without notice — most children simply do better with a parent within earshot rather than in frame.
