Hi, I come from a working class background and have never had the best education. I left school at 18 to work with my dad on a market stall. I now have two beautiful young children and I want to give them every oppurtunity that I never had. My 9 daughter is top of her class in both maths and English and I’m told by her teachers that she seems to absorb everything very quickly. We can’t afford a private school but I’ve have seen that some allow children to go free providing they pass the entrance exam and interview. I work from 6am till 8pm and have been putting away money for a tutor, I have seen some that specifically tutor for entrance exams and was wondering if that was a bad idea? Do they teach in a different way than a normal tutor and would it be best just going with a normal tutor? I don’t want to hold her back and if she’s happy learning I wan’t to do my best for her.
