Question: Homeschooling Tutor Help!!?
I have previously home schooled my two children myself who are 13 and 9, and I don't have the time now that I'm working full time. I have been wondering if a Tutor could come to my house Monday-Friday and teach my children all the National Curriculum instead of them going to school, (The school's that are appropriate for them are a long drive away, we live in the countryside you see!) Also will my children have a schedule, like: Monday- Art, English and Maths. Tuesday- Science, Geography and Music etc? Another question is: How long will the day be; a normal 6 hour school day or 3 hours? And last but not least, if possible, how much will this tutor cost for both of my children?
Thank you so much for your help: Maximum point reward!
Ps: I also have a child aged 4. From what age will he be tutored. Thank you so much!
I live in the UK, so sorry but no american information please! Thank you for your time anyway!
Answer: He who pays the piper (or tutor) calls the tune. The schedule and what they will be taught is totally up to you. You'd have to check with the individual tutors, they may just charge by the hour or they may ask for a higher rate for 2 children than 1. The music teacher my daughter goes to charges £20.50 for 2 children for 30 minutes, but we go to her so there's no travel time to figure in which may be significant for you if your tutors have to travel far. Google tutors for your area, call local FE colleges and contact local home ed groups for recommendations.
Your 4 year old does not legally need to receive an education until the start of the first school term after he turns 5. Before that it's totally up to you.
