The qualifications of a teacher who takes on the responsibility of educating children in preschool age in a home environment are important. Damla Consulting is ready to assist families who want their children to receive preschool education at home by providing a home teacher who possesses all the necessary qualifications for this job.
As parents, we understand your meticulousness regarding your children's preparation for school in the right way and in the best manner. We understand because we show the same meticulousness for our children. We want our children to be educated by a teacher who has received adequate training, can empathize, and has good diction. We want the person we entrust our child to be sympathetic, not hold grudges against our child, not mock them, and not put them in an embarrassing situation or hurt their feelings. If we have agreed with a home teacher, we want them to be sensitive to protecting our child's physical and mental health; we want them to express our child's mistakes in a way that encourages reflection without belittling them, using kind words.
We want the preschool teacher at the kindergarten they attend to be someone who can make the school a sincere, peaceful, and enjoyable place for children, in addition to all these qualities. If you are a school principal looking for a good teacher for your kindergarten, we are here; if you are parents who want your preschool-aged child to be prepared for school in a home environment, we are also here. Rest assured that we will take ownership of your search as if it were our own.
If you want your child to start receiving preschool education at home or if you want your child who is attending school to have a private teacher who will help with their lessons, homework, and exam preparations, you can agree with a home teacher. Home teachers are sometimes sought by families who want to accelerate the development of their children who have issues with perception, reading, writing, or attention.
Who is a Home Teacher, What Do They Do?
A home teacher is fundamentally a person who provides education to your child in a home environment. The job description and the qualifications they must possess vary according to your needs and requests. Some families look for a home teacher who knows a foreign language, especially English. For a child who has learning difficulties, a teacher trained in this area is preferred. Sometimes, parents want to agree with a teacher who will reinforce the education their child receives at school, check homework, assist if necessary, and ensure good preparation for exam periods.
What Qualities Should a Home Teacher Have?
*If your child has problems related to learning, understanding, or adapting to school, they should be someone with education and/or experience in this area.
*If you are looking for a home teacher for your preschool-aged child, the person should have studied the development and education of children in this age group.
*If you need a private teacher who will provide services in a home environment for your school-going child, the person you agree with should be able to educate according to your child's age, condition, and level.
*A home teacher is not always someone sought only to assist preschool or school-aged children with their lessons. They may also be asked to ensure the child is taken to and from school, and to spend time with age-appropriate activities.
*A home teacher should always be patient, understanding, possess the ability to explain, and be able to solve issues such as the student's insecurity and exam anxiety.
*A good home teacher is someone who loves children and has the ability to communicate with them. They identify the student's deficiencies, understand their needs and concerns, and adjust the educational program accordingly.
*While doing their job, they also consider the demands and principles of the person or family who employs them.
*They should be a good observer. They should be able to identify the student's overall condition, any problems, concerns, strengths, and weaknesses, and inform the family, providing recommendations if necessary.
*They should be disciplined. When it comes to ensuring that the child they support in their education does what they need to do, they should act decisively and authoritatively. On the other hand, they should also allow the child to rest and relax when necessary.
*They should instill courage and hope in their students. Some children are shy, some understand slowly, and some may be particularly insecure about certain topics. They should help their students address these issues and deficiencies and believe that they can do so.
*If your child has a particular weakness or an area you want them to develop, the teacher should be knowledgeable in that area.

Live-in Home Teacher
Some families prefer to interview live-in home teacher candidates. In this case, the home teacher must stay at the family's home for a large part of the week, sometimes for the entire week, including nights. They may also be asked to join family trips. Days off are determined by mutual agreement.
Home Teacher Who Knows a Foreign Language
In some job postings like "I am looking for a home teacher", it is seen that the family is looking for a home teacher who knows a foreign language. Families who want their children to learn a foreign language from an early age or to improve their performance in this subject at school want to find a home teacher who is proficient in English, German, French, or another foreign language. Since English is a globally recognized language, we can say that there is a higher demand for home teachers who know English in such postings.
Reference Home Teacher
Some parents prefer to agree with reference home teachers who have previously provided services in this field. In this case, the employer must carefully check the references of the candidates. If it is possible to meet in person, and if the candidate has references who will accept this, you should definitely take advantage of this opportunity.
What to Consider When Choosing a Home Teacher?
*Think thoroughly about your child's needs and what you want, and make sure to prepare a complete list before posting an ad or consulting with a Human Resources firm.
*If your child has general or specific difficulties in perception, has a mental problem, or cannot focus their attention, especially prefer candidates who have received education in that area.
*List your specific requests. You may have a dog at home and therefore want a teacher who is not afraid of dogs. You may request that candidates do not smoke or only smoke under certain conditions, in a specific place. You may prefer individuals who can provide education in specific areas such as music, chess, painting, or mathematics.
*Try to ensure that the candidate you will interview is a punctual person, will adhere to working hours, and will not frequently request leave due to health issues or other reasons.
*Someone who is not patient, affectionate, and understanding towards children, and cannot empathize with them cannot be a good home teacher. Question candidates in these aspects.
*Be sure to communicate your special requests regarding your child's development, activities they will do, upbringing, what will and will not be done, and what will and will not be said.
