📚 How to Choose a Tutor in Kenya – 5 Things to Check Before You Book

Whether your child is prepping for KCPE in Syokimau, you’re tackling Form 4 Chemistry in Kisumu, or finally learning French in Rongai—finding the right tutor in Kenya can be a game-changer.

Here are five things to check before you book a tutor:

✅ 1. Are They Verified and Reviewed?

A tutor’s CV might look impressive, but what matters most is how they connect with learners.

What to look for:

  • ✅ Verified badge on the Balozy App
  • ✅ Ratings and reviews from real students or parents
  • ✅ Subject specialties and grade levels
  • ✅ Clear service descriptions (KCSE, IGCSE, adult learning, languages)

💡 On Balozy, every tutor is background-checked and reviewed—so you book with confidence.

🧠 2. Do They Understand Your Learning Goals?

Tutoring isn’t just about passing exams—it’s about building confidence, curiosity, and mastery.

Ask before booking:

  • ✅ What’s your approach to weak subjects or slow learners?
  • ✅ Do you offer progress tracking or feedback?
  • ✅ Can you tailor lessons to my curriculum or exam board?

📍 3. Are They Local to Your Area?

Booking someone from your estate or cluster means easier scheduling and better follow-up.

Balozy Tip: Use the “Near Me” filter to find tutors in Nairobi, Machakos, Eldoret, Kisumu, or wherever you are.

💬 4. Do They Communicate Clearly?

You want someone who confirms sessions, arrives on time, and explains concepts—not someone who rushes or disappears.

Look for:

  • ✅ Fast response time on the app
  • ✅ Transparent pricing and session length
  • ✅ Respectful, encouraging tone

📚 5. Do They Offer Flexible Learning Options?

Some learners thrive in-person, others online. A verified tutor should offer options that fit your lifestyle.

Ask:

  • ✅ Do you offer online or hybrid sessions?
  • ✅ Can you tutor multiple subjects or learners at once?
  • ✅ Do you provide learning materials or homework support?
