There are many things to consider when choosing a reading tutor.
Here are some points to consider:
Experience – There is no substitute for years of practical knowledge and training; however, some teachers start more learning and progress once they start teaching. Find someone who has years of experience and has tried many teaching methods to identify the best of the best.

Education – Apart from being a licensed teacher, do teachers participate in continuing professional development beyond the basic requirements? Teachers are required to continue their studies, but have they received a certificate? Sitting through a presentation is different from an actual undergraduate application.
Program – Being taught in a program does not qualify a person to know how to teach. Some people say they use the Orton-Gillingham program, but there are many children who don't need or benefit from O-G. Programs don't teach kids, teachers do. No single approach can address the complex nature of reading difficulties. For some children, this OG technique is also helpful. It only depends upon the children's ability.
Future teachers must have knowledge and experience that goes beyond O-G. Do teachers have effective strategies outside the program? Do teachers know how to evaluate children for anything other than programming? Teachers need to know how to work with children, to fit into the program.
