Where can I find A homeschool group?
Answer: Face Book
There is a great home school community on Facebook. Just go into groups and type in home school or home education and a list will come up. If you do not find any locally yo you, then maybe think about Creating your own. The above group is one that I set up and ran for many years. If you would like tips on running your own home school group them send me a message to be added to the waiting list as I will be giving tips and tricks very soon.
Where can I find a home school tutor?
You can find a home-school tutor in the same way that you'd find a school tutor.
Many tutors work with students who attend mainstream schools but full time tutors would usually have more availability for tuition during the day than they would with after school tuition.
​
The first thing that you would need to do is think about whether you want a tutor for exams or for non exams as having a goal in mind will make it easier to decide how much to invest.
​
Facebook groups, word of mouth or tutoring agencies are a good place to start.
If you are looking for a home-school tutor for a primary school children, then I am the one you want lol!
I am a qualified teacher and have been teaching since 2005. I tutor primary aged children in maths and English and as registered IEW instructor, I also teach creative writing classes to children age 8 to 16 (not at the same time). My level A classes are for children aged 8 -11 and my level B classes are for children aged 12 - 16. Please go to the classes section for more information or contact me directly for maths and English enquiries and I would be happy to help.
