[Blondie]

I'm looking for a maths tutor to help with higher maths studies.

Can anyone recommend a tutor or point me in the right direction.

Thanks.

Wick High School Parent Council discussed tutoring and the lack of it, at a recent meeting. Plans are afoot to set up a scheme which will involve teachers, pupils and ex- teachers offering extra tuition to pupils in all subjects and in all years. I'll update you when more details are available.

Thanks very much Venture.

be sure you get a tutor who is actively teaching,especially if it's for a kid

[Venture]

Can you explain what you mean.

not all tutors are properly vetted,registered tutors, or up on the current curriculum.best going for a registered home tutor if you can find one.

Why not go for somebody who has just gone through theirs last year?They will be up to date with the current curriculum and know what its like to go through highers,I am sure there would be plenty of younger people who would be happy to help and(probably) be half the cost! x

Mmmm - I'd be careful about this... just because someone has passed an exam doesn't mean they will be competent, willing or able to teach it to others.

As was said before - best getting someone registered - at least you have references, disclosures etc... Just a thought...

[Thumper]

You are right in a way there afternoondelight,but what i meant (and should have made clear in my post) was that maybe they know somebody in the year above that could help out and be trusted,my son studied with somebody who had done his highers the year before and he felt that it helped him quite a bit,in no way is it as good as a teacher but every little helps x

[AfternoonDelight]

Absolutely, Thumper - might be cheaper too!! ;)
