Private tutors 8 Feb 2007
Child Studying
A guilty secret or just doing the best for your child?
We've heard about the lengths some parents will go to get their child into the right state school – and for many that can mean the decision to pay for extra tuition - and we’re spending more than ever on the private coaching industry.  So what's fuelling this need to buy in extra help? And is it ethical to pay for extra lessons to boost your child's grades whilst making use of the State system?   

Jenni is joined by Mylene Curtis, managing director of Fleet Tutors and educational psychologist and former teacher Debbie Burton to discuss.
