Hello,
I really need some friendly advice about potential tutoring for DD.
DD will be doing GCSE next year and is really struggling with maths. I guess like all parents I know she can do better. Myself and DH have spoken to her teacher many times and usual outcome is teacher basically says I have 29 children to teach and can't spend all time with one child - fair enough... but on last meeting we said to DD teacher that perhaps she needed some extra tuition across the year. We found a great tuition centre that focused purely on exam results and seemed to really care that DD got best results she could. We showed the brochure to DD teacher, who then became very aggressive and said that 'coaching' just for the results was not the point of education.
We now feel the teacher has turned his back on DD simply because we have tried to help.
As anyone else experienced this, how common is it amongst other mums to use tuition to improve results ?
Thanks in advance for any advice
