I'm looking for a tutor for my son (he's in second grade) and I contacted his school and was told they usually have a list of qualified tutors but...there isn't anyone on it at the momentSo, how does one go about finding a tutor for elementary grades?
You may want to check with the High School Guidance Counselors. Sometimes they have students in the National Honor Society that tutor students. Another option would be to check with CSM, they often know of students who tutor. Good luck!

Your son's teacher should be willing to work with you and your son if he's having difficulties. Many times teachers are more than willing to cooperate and compromise a little time here & there. I would try this route before paying for help, especially at such a young age.I'm looking for a tutor for my son (he's in second grade) and I contacted his school and was told they usually have a list of qualified tutors but...there isn't anyone on it at the moment
Is there a part of the 2nd grade curriculum that is beyond your capabilities?
Speaking from experience here, had to have a tutor for my own 2nd grader.
This is not unusual. Homework for us was a constant argument. If I say it's blue, she'll say it's red kind of thing. It wasn't that I couldn't help her.
We asked the teacher and a different 2nd grade teacher did the tutoring.

What's he having trouble with? I'd talk to the school about any extra in school programs, "interventions", available - be insistant.
This may sound silly but I'd also consider maybe letting a friend help. My daughter will allow her friends Mom help her with homework and enjoy it, same goes for her kids with me. Problem was we don't live near enough to each other to do this regularly.
Well, as I said I did contact the school and my son's teacher specifically. I was told that an email was sent and a notice put up in the "communications room" but that his teacher had not had any response yet. I am assuming that means that no one in the school is either available or willing to give extra help.
Maybe I do need to get more insistant about getting him extra help at school.

Absolutely...it took me a long time to get over the "don't be a nusance because ill feelings may trickle down to my kid" type of thinking. DO NOT make the mistake of thinking it's better to not make waves.
My daughter is in 3rd and I've learned that I should have asked for several things of the school in the past. It's hard to find someone to work with that will be honest and actually tell you what is available for your child through the school. I started with the teacher, then the interventionist and then the counselor. If you don't ask or push they will not offer. -- Good Luck!
