Hello,
we recently moved from England to Scotland. In England I used to teach Maths in a Sixth Form College (I'm a fully qualified Maths teacher), but I am not working at the moment, as I need to wait for the registration with GTC Scotland to come through. So I am thinking of offering some Maths tuition (for Intermediate, Higher, Adv. Higher).
I wanted to ask if anybody could give me advice on :
- where to advertise/where would you look for a tutor? How would you pick the tutor?
- what you, as a parent, would like to get from a tutor (I would guess lots of work on past papers, if it's in preparation for an exam; would you be ok if the tutor sets "lots of" homework for your child to do for the next lesson?)
- what you really want to avoid, when choosing a tutor
- how much money would you prepare to pay (per hour)
- any additional comments that might be useful to be a good tutor, maybe from your experience with Maths tutors
Thanks a lot for any suggestions!
