Have a 1st grade ds. Tutor helps him with school assignments in writing and math and works with him on his reading. I and explicit as far as how much time I want her to spend on each- most time is Writing, then reading and very little on math since math is easy for ds. I’ve also had her do extra work on handwriting that isn’t assigned. If there are no writing assignments for the day from school the tutor comes up with some.

Usually you hire a tutor for a specific subject(s). We have a Spanish tutor, so the topic is clear (but we tailor to the school curriculum).
