Tutor learning goals and provider comparison workbook
A tutor conversation is easier to compare when each provider receives the same non-sensitive picture of the subject, current starting point, learning goal, preferred format and schedule. This helpful preparation resource from PickYourPro.ai gives adult learners and caregivers room to organize those details, ask about tutor training and session approach, and compare progress-review and communication plans without diagnosing a learner or promising an outcome.

This is a tutor-selection and learning-goal preparation workbook, not a learning assessment, diagnosis, instructional prescription, accommodation plan, test strategy, credential rule, school-record form, safeguarding procedure or guarantee of academic results. A tutor or appropriate education professional should assess needs and explain the proposed approach.

Ask each tutor how they would learn more, plan sessions, coordinate permitted materials, review progress and communicate; the tutor should explain any assessment, instructional approach and information needed through an appropriate private channel.

Tutor preparation checklist
- Name the subject, course or skill area without entering a learner name or school identifier.
- Describe the current starting point in observable terms, including what feels comfortable and where help is wanted.
- Write one or two practical learning goals and note how the learner would recognize useful progress.
- List preferred session format, general availability, location or online needs and communication preferences.
- Ask how the tutor is trained or supervised for this subject, learner level and session format.
- Ask how the tutor would structure sessions, coordinate permitted materials and adapt after reviewing progress.
- Agree on who receives updates, what will be recorded and how private information will be shared.
- Give each tutor the same brief and compare approach, communication, schedule, written terms and fit—not promises.
Questions to ask a tutor
- What experience, training or supervision is relevant to this subject, learner level and session format?
- How will you learn about the starting point and goals before proposing a session approach?
- How do you plan a typical session, choose or coordinate permitted materials, and handle work between sessions?
- How will progress be reviewed, discussed and used to adjust the next sessions without guaranteeing a result?
- How will you communicate with the learner or caregiver, protect private information and handle scheduling changes?
- What is included in the written proposal, what is outside scope, and what information must be confirmed first?
Write down the answers and any exclusions. If two proposals describe different work, clarify the difference before comparing their totals. Leave unanswered points blank until the professional confirms them.
