Home schooling / home education
We have built long-term relationships with a lot of home-educated tutees over the years. Practically, we can work with your child for a “break” from school, or even an entire GCSE of A-level. We’ve even invigilated online exams for students with severe anxiety. We can also help with transition back into school where appropriate. Every child is different, so please get in touch to discuss your needs.
