Nowadays, many parents are looking for private tutors to help their children. A private tutor may not provide what you need, however:

• Private tutors are very expensive – between £20 and £70 per hour, depending where you live.
• Private tutors usually come at the same time every week. This is not always convenient or effective. Families often have other plans which need to work around the tutor.
• Children are not always in the right mood to learn something when the tutor arrives.
• A tutor usually comes for an hour at a time. Effective learning often takes place in shorter bitesize ‘chunks’ - more frequent and smaller lessons rather than an one extra hour per week.
• When the tutor isn’t there, who can your children turn to for help?
• Private tutors are often not qualified teachers at all, and so they may not be the best way to prepare for all important exams.
• Even if and when you do find a good private tutor – and that is by no means easy- what do you do when they are no longer able to give your child tutoring; how do you find a replacement?
