About this template
A tutor–parent communication log keeps everyone aligned on what's happening between sessions — parents are paying for and supporting the work, and a clear log builds trust and shows progress. The heart is the **session-by-session record**: for each session, the **date, topic covered, the student's progress, and the homework assigned**, so a parent can follow along and reinforce practice at home. On top of that, a short **summary for the parent** translates the sessions into the big picture — what's now a strength, the one or two focus areas, and a note on effort and engagement (parents value this as much as the academics). Add concrete **recommendations** (a practice routine, what to review before a test, whether more sessions are warranted) and the **next session** with anything to bring. Keep it specific and encouraging, send it on a regular cadence, and treat the student's information as confidential. It's a communication and progress record — for tutoring terms and rates, use a separate tutoring agreement.
