Hi. I’m looking to get a parent’s view on tutoring as I am an A* English A level student (with a grade 9 at GCSE) and I am going on to study English at university. This year I managed to bring my brother’s (who is in year 8) English grades up significantly throughout 2020’s homeschooling. I used a simple method of reading through his tasks and advising him rather than dictating his answers. This allowed him to learn and approach future tasks using the same techniques. I understand that it has been a tough year for teachers, parents and students but do you feel as parents it would be beneficial to have this kind of advice as I am looking to set up my own, small, online business so I can advise on specific tasks and homework etc. Obviously I understand I am not qualified to teach English but having only a few years earlier completed similar topics, I feel confident that I can deliver worthy help and advice.

I'm not sure what you are selling here; you say your 'teaching method' is to read your brother's work and then suggest ways of improving it. This is hardly ground breaking or novel is it? Confused
