## Resource

Episode 76 When a school or teacher suggests tutoring, it can feel confusing, triggering, or even alarming — especially if you don't understand the school's actual plan to support your child. In this quick episode, Miss Beth breaks down what to do in that moment and what every parent needs to know before hiring a tutor in first grade. You'll learn: * what schools are expected to do before recommending outside tutoring * the key questions to ask when a teacher brings it up * how to advocate for your child (even if you don't realize you need to) * what first-grade support should look like * a simple script to get clear answers and keep communication collaborative If you've ever wondered whether tutoring is the right next step — or if your school should be doing more — this episode will give you clarity, confidence, and the exact words to say.
