Indian parents add another tuition every time marks drop. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it makes things much worse — because the real issue isn't academic. Here's how to diagnose correctly.

When It's a Tutor Job

• Drop in 1–2 specific subjects.
• Concept gaps clearly identified.
• Child still motivated, just stuck.
• Test prep, board prep, entrance prep.
• School pace too fast for your child.

When It's a Counsellor Job

• Drop across ALL subjects suddenly.
• Loss of motivation, withdrawal.
• Sleep changes, mood changes.
• Anxiety, panic before exams.
• Conflict at home, refusal to study, school refusal.

When It's Both

Some students need both — counselling for emotional, tutor for academic. Don't add tutor to a depressed child; add counsellor first, then tutor.

• Counsellor first — addresses motivation, anxiety.
• Tutor second — fills concept gaps once mind is ready.
• Tutors Parliament can match both — first counsellor call is free.
