Right there is a long story behind this and i will explain a bit. My cousin was bullied badly at school and it got so bad he moved to Australia to live with his dad and go to school there but things havn't worked out (more financially than anything) and he's having to come back.
He is refusing to go to school back here but has been accepted onto a college-cum-training course to be a builder but he has to be 15 years and 3 months. he comes home the end of this month and turns 15 in november so he'll be here for 5 months without a structured school.
it will be impossible for my auntie to afford a private tutor and to tell you the truth if she tried to educate him he'd just end up more confused. So i've voluteered to tutor him for 3 days a week (5 hour days) or 5 days a week (3 hour days) but although i can do the basics etc i havnt had any tutoring experience, heres where the problem lies.
he is nearly 15 but his reading age is 8 and spellings are around 7 etc etc etc. so how do i approach teaching him? all the books suitable for his age are too advanced but the ones suitable for his acedemic age are too babyish! please give me some ideas!!!
(sorry so long!)
