Tutors to help with home learning? (School closure)

4 replies

Any idea if tutors would be able to carry on running sessions from their centres, given the school closures?

We have not used a Tutor before, but now wondering if this would be a good idea to supplement the home work (and our new amateur parent-teacher role) that my DD will be doing at home.

Guess I am thinking that if the school closures drag on for months rather than a few weeks, education could suffer. It's early days yet I know, we don't even know what work the school will have prepared for them, and how they will do keep up the learning if it becomes longer term.

I'm wondering if I will be able to set up as a tutor as I work as a freelance SEND and maths consultant for schools and won't get paid for a few months now. How much would you pay for specialist dyslexia tutoring?

They might not be able to do it from centres but I know many are planning to offer sessions from home delivered virtually

I'm a tutor and currently still doing 1 to 1 sessions but groups I'm doing online. By next week I'll probably be doing everything online. However, I've probably just lost a number of tutees because they have cancelled the GCSE exams!

Thanks all. Our DD is only in yr3, maybe I'm over reacting and we will be fine schooling from home(although I will be working full time from home too) but if it becomes long term and leave it too late, I can see tutors becoming fully booked up.
