Hi Connersdad.
We did use academically talented high school students as math tutors for our kids when they were younger. We weren�t paying that much (twice the current babysitting rate), so we didn�t critique the quality of instruction too harshly, although I do believe the first tutor was average and the second one was extremely good. Our kids enjoyed spending time with a teenager and working beyond grade level in math. We were pleased that the tutors were such exceptional role models and believe some of their positive traits were adopted by our kids.
