I Feel So Alone

[NotAMum1Org]

Hello everyone,

This is going to be a unique one but I need all the help I can get... I am totally over my head.

I am 18 years old and have a long term boyfriend. I personally have no children but my boyfriends brother is home schooled. Unfortunately the mum has no time or knowledge to do this herself so for the past 2 years he has had no education except for sometimes Googling things about dinosaurs.

I can not stand it anymore and have volunteered my time to tutor him an hour each day from 5-6 (I work 7-4)

As you can guess I don't even know where to begin! How do you take exams? I want him to have GCSE's....

Have you guys got any resources to help the learning process? He is 12 at the moment; 13 in July.

I feel so alone.

Please help me,

Kya

Have a look at Ed Yourself which is probably the best source of home education information online at the moment. There's a section there on Exams (far right of the menu bar) and that will give you links to the Home Ed Exams wiki and yahoo group for doing exams whilst HEing. Should get you started.

Please contact children's services, this is not your problem. He really is slipping through the net and it's not your responsibility to make up for his mother's shortcomings.

Sign up to tes (you don't have to be a teacher). There are loads of resources for every subject on there, many of which are free.
