Tutor Advice

[Paprika]

Hi there,

I'm so glad I found this forum ! I was made promises by a schoolgate "friend" regarding a tutor which turned out to be at best empty promises and which have left us in the lurch.

My little one is in year 5 and we're hoping to get her a place at Loreto or Altrincham Grammar. She has no older siblings so we have no experience of negotiating the tutor/admissions minefield and don't really know anybody to ask advice of.

I would be so grateful if somebody could recommend a good tutor in the south manchester area.

Many thanks in anticipation

Welcome.

I would just give our standard caution:

Genuine recommendations by PM only (private message) are acceptable - but beware of the possibility that someone who appears to be offering a recommendation may in reality be engaged in self-promotion! Please let us know if you think anyone is abusing the system by soliciting for business or 'spamming'.

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!

Thanks for the heads up Etienne
