Chris Howe is setting up a database of Tutor CV's to help parents connect with tutors. His page is "ABA TUTOR FINDER" on Facebook.

I'm a Lead Tutor in the Midlands and I know how hard it is to get new tutors - we had our Consultant contact the local universities (psychology departments) - great success, but all have no experience so we are training them.
