Home schooling can have advantages and disadvantages. One benefit is that the child can be schooled year-round, with no reason to take 6 weeks off in the summer and for other holidays. So, the teaching can be spread out more evenly over the year. However, the child must have a full-time education from the age of 5, although it is not a requirement to follow the national curriculum.

Obviously, you don’t need to spend money on a school uniform, yet you may need to invest in certain equipment for schooling purposes. Of course, you can also do things such as taking your child out for the day to a museum, into the countryside to study nature, and to many other places where they will have experiences that a child in a school may not.

Of course, a very big difficulty is that a parent may not have complete understanding of all the various topics. While you may have a great understanding of maths, you might not be so competent in English Literature or physics – or the other way around. This can mean that you need to employ a teacher to come to your home in order to cover certain subjects.

We’ve Got You Covered

However, if you live within travelling distance of Oldham, at Smart Kids Private Tutoring, our local tutors in Oldham have you covered. Our team of expert tutors can teach your child in those subjects in which you are not so fully qualified. The good news is that this is done on a one-on-one basis in exactly the same way that you would do it at home.

Our specialist will sit down with your child and make an assessment of his or her skills in a particular subject and then design a unique programme that will cover their requirements.

You can use our local tutors in Oldham in a way that fits in with your needs, not just on the subject, but to suit your time as well. So, for example, you may have things outside schoolwork that you need to do on a couple of mornings a week. You can bring your child to us for teaching on those days and collect him or her at lunchtime and go back home. It is entirely up to you.
