From verified credentials to progress tracking — the questions that separate a great home tutor from an average one in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Lahore & Karachi.
Choosing the right home tutor is one of the most important decisions a parent makes. Here are five questions that help you separate a great tutor from an average one.
1. Are your credentials verified?
On IlmGhar, every tutor's degree and CNIC are checked by our admin team before a profile goes live — so you start from a position of trust.
2. How do you track progress?
A good tutor sets clear goals and reviews them regularly. Ask how they measure improvement:
- Weekly topic checklists
- Past-paper practice with marking
- Short feedback notes after each lesson

Many tutors share a short walkthrough of their teaching style. For example:
4. What are your timings and areas?
Confirm availability and whether they teach at your home, their place, or online — all visible on every IlmGhar profile.
Pay only for lessons taken. Admin-supervised hiring means no surprises.
5. What happens if it isn't a fit?
