Gifted childrenHelping a gifted child is not as easy as many (who've not got one!) may think. Apart from often getting bored and disinterested in schoolwork, they may be the subject of bullying. Having a private tutor can make all the difference, but it is crucial that you have the right one. It's all in the relationship.

He or she should be enthusiastic and committed to the personal and academic growth of the child.
