Home Education

Home education (also known as 'elective home education' or 'home schooling') is an option available to parents who choose to educate their children outside of a traditional school setting. Home education usually involves parents designing a curriculum for their children, providing instruction, and assessing their children's progress.

 

Parents who choose to home educate are free to decide which subjects to teach and how to teach them, as long as their children are given an education which is suitable to their age, ability and aptitude. Parents must also ensure that their children receive an education which is broadly similar to what would be provided in a local school, taking into account the child's religious and cultural background.

 

Home education is regulated by local authorities, who may inspect the educational arrangements made by parents. Parents who choose to home educate must inform their local authority in writing and must provide evidence of their child's progress. In some cases, parents may be asked to provide evidence of their child's progress to their local authority.

​

In conclusion, home education is an option available to parents who choose to educate their children outside of a traditional school setting. As long as parents provide an education which is suitable to their child's age & ability. 

How private tutoring can help

A private tutor provides your child with individual attention, which can be extremely helpful in improving their academic performance. A tutor can help your child learn specific skills, such as organisation and test-taking strategies, that can help them succeed in their education.

 

Furthermore, a tutor can work with your child one-on-one to identify and address any learning difficulties they may have, such as difficulty understanding concepts or difficulty with memorising. Finally, a private tutor can provide a more personalised approach to learning that allows your child to learn at their own pace and ask questions as needed.
