Called Mapping and Evaluating Shadow Education it was one of the first major UK studies into the role of private tutoring and it makes for interesting reading not least as it shows just how many people are involved in this shadow education economy.
One of the key messages of the report seems to be that tutoring alone is no guarantee of success and that parental involvement and commitment to the school experience are all important aspects. As is getting the right tutor and maintaining a dialogue with them.
We hope Beanbag can help build and enhance the conversations between parents and tutors as well as make the selection process easier for both parties but the hard work is really down to the child, tutor and the parent.
