Alison Stoker speaks to George Paparestis-Stacey, Edison School’s Achievement Advisor on student and family support, formerly of Essex LEA Behaviour Support Service and an experienced teacher about how to make the process as stress free as possible.

Alison Stoker speaks to a tutor, teacher and two parents of children who are having tutoring about their experiences. Tutoring - too much, too young?
