Tutor recommendations and general advice
My beautiful boy is currently in year 3, and doing really well at school. From what little research I have done, I would really like him to go to Skinners, Judd, Olaves or any other selective school nearby (who wouldn't tho right!).
Does anyone have any recommendations for a good tutor, or recommendations where/when I should start preparations. Is year 4 too early to start? Other people I have spoken to seem to leave it to year 5 - which I think is maybe too late.
But I don't know, first time mum and totally out of my depth!
Some advice would be gratefully received.

We try to keep the forum as safe as possible - we don't allow tutors to be openly recommended, because it attracts posts with fake recommendations ('dodgy' advertising solely designed to solicit business on the internet).
It is also not unknown for unscrupulous competitors to 'plant' posts seeking to denigrate the opposition!
Genuine recommendations from forum members by PM only (private message) are permitted - but be aware of the possibility that someone who appears to be a 'helpful parent' offering advice may not be all they seem! There could be an ulterior motive.
Always treat recommendations from unknown persons with great caution.
However, we have many long standing members (check carefully the date of joining and number of posts) who make a very valuable contribution to the forum. If you receive a private recommendation from one of them, it could be worth considering.
Please let us know if you think anyone is abusing the system by soliciting for business or 'spamming'.
