Just that really. I'm currently looking at tutoring options for my DS in Y4. I've tried tutoring him myself with atom learning and Bond online, but with a young toddler and work it has proven difficult lately.
I have narrowed it down to two tutors near me presently; one a grammar school student who is currently doing her GCSEs charging £15/hr. And the other an experienced lady who's been tutoring for a decade charging £30/hr.
Money is a bit of stretch right now and is the motivating factor in choosing the GCSE tutor but can't help feeling I may be going with the lesser option.
Anyone got any advice?
The student tutor does have an advantage in that she has been tutored for the 11+ herself and sat through it with flying colours to get into a super selective fairly recently. So knows and has firsthand experience of the 11+ process. She has also been tutoring for the past three years so not completely new to it, and has glowing reviews on her profile.
please help me decide

So she’s been tutoring since she was 12- 13? Really?
