If you're not failing a class, you might seek the help of a tutor if you want to understand the class material better. A tutor might teach in a way you understand better than the class teacher. This in turn should help raise your grade in the class. If you were absent from any classes, a tutor can help explain the material you missed. Also, if the material is difficult to understand, a tutor can spend more time going over details that the class teacher is unable to cover. A tutor can give the one-on-one support a teacher is unable to. And a tutor can help prepare you for upcoming material ahead of time. A tutor will help give extra confidence in the material.
