Can anyone recommend any good Maths, English and French GCSE tutors please?

:hello: everyone

My son has been ill for over 2 years and as a result has fallen behind with his schoolwork.:cry: He is in Year 12 (he had to repeat Year 11 due to illness :( ) and will be doing his GCSEs this year.

He needs some help and i wonder if anyone here can recommend good teachers for French, English and Maths.

Many thanks in advance.

Fiona

    Google private tutoring etc for NI and see what comes up. Then use your judgement.........a lot of the tutors will exaggerate their quals, experience etc. but the most important thing to ensure they have is a CRB check (I am assuming these exist in NI!), this check ensures that you have the facts when it comes to convictions, cautions, reprimands and final warnings etc and that you can make an informed choice.

    Other than that - ring a few have a chat with them and get a feeling to what you need.

    Yes CRB checks apply in NI.

    I am CRB checked, but not a tutor, so can't help.

    Cheers, Des.
  • Thanks Elliesmum and Des for your help.
