What should I check before hiring a home tutor for my child?

Ask the tutor to teach one topic your child recently struggled with, for fifteen minutes — and watch your child, not the tutor. Beyond that: match the exact class, subject and board, check what is actually verified rather than claimed, and agree the schedule in writing before money changes hands.
