Being asked to provide copies of marked work for private tutors to see

I wonder if anyone has experienced this or has a view on it.

I have been asked to allow a student (KS4) to take her assessments home so that her tutor (privately employed by her family) can see them and work on them with her. I'm not sure how I feel about it, though I'm not sure why. We don't normally send this stuff home and I have gone through it in the class, so not sure what a tutor can add. Obviously I can see the benefits of a tutor, but am less sure about them going through stuff I've already marked. However, I may well be being ridiculous.

There is also the fact that the work will have to be photocopied, which is a bit of a pita as there is quite a bit of it, and the request has been phrased quite curtly, which makes me less inclined to put myself out. But, again, I may be being a complete arse.

Just wondered what others think...

The role of a tutor is not to help the teacher help the child ! It is to help the child!!

If that child then wants to share with their teacher what support they have received and any helpful tips, fine and dandy. But a tutor is not a learning consultant.
