Assessment of ability
Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2012 11:03 pm
Hi, I'm new to the forum but have been lurking for a while, gathering information!
My son is currently in year 4 and we've been doing the Bond books for a few months. I'd like to get him properly assessed by a tutor to get an idea of where any gaps are rather than starting formal tutoring at this stage.
I spoke to S6 tutoring academy but it would be £150 for a 2 hour assessment in all areas. This sounds a lot to me but I wondered whether this was the sort of money to be expected, or whether indeed anyone could recommend a tutor in the Billericay/Brentwood area who could do this?
Thanks in advance.
Genuine recommendations by PM only (private message) are acceptable - but beware of the possibility that someone who appears to be offering a recommendation may have a vested interest! Please let us know if you think anyone is abusing the system by soliciting for business or 'spamming'. (It's easy to report a possible problem: just click on the 'report button' - the red exclamation mark.)
Always treat recommendations from unknown persons with caution. However, there are many long standing members (check the date of joining and number of posts) who make a valuable contribution to the forum. If you receive a recommendation from one of them, it could be worth considering seriously (while still exercising a degree of caution).
If you receive a recommendation from anyone else, please exercise extreme caution!
