Working with DCC's Home Tuition Support Officer, Liz
McQueen, I was able to gain access to:
- Two home tutors
- Eight home tutored students
- The loan of three computers
- Part funding for AOL line time
- Some funding for my own time and expenses
Beyond this it was important that I had the official backing
of an LEA. This have me a lot more clout when I started to look for the other
partners I needed. It also gave me an official status that made it possible to
contact parents with confidence. It did, however, create a rather blurred
position for me in terms of the tutors; it was never totally clear quite who
was in charge and this did lead to problems outlined elsewhere. |
