Just chatting to Dd, and a significant number of her friends have tutors. One, who got an A for maths in her mock is being tutored as she needs an A star at the tune of £45 an hour.
Just worried I'm missing a trick here?

HOY was adamant dd didn't need one. Since she's had her tutor her average essay has gone up two grades. I'm happy with that.

I didn't think it would be common as I thought most A Level students would be going off to university so really need those independent learning skills if they are going to manage the workload as well as all the other adaptations they will need to make when leaving home.

Mine don't but I wouldn't hesitate if I thought it would help and the DC wanted one.

She got CCC in her mocks. Just waiting for the next lot of results. She's predicted AAA! But I'm not confident. She had a maths tutor for AS. Still time to re employ him!

Mine does. She got a D in her mocks though!

Loads for maths A-level at my school. Don't know about other subjects.
