of legs (his own fortunately!) They both really enjoyed it, and I don't even think it depends so much on the kid when you're one-to-one! For the second one, the teacher's life was a doddle, as the school supplied all the work - worried about league table results as it was coming up to SATs!

Go for it! I should think it would be really rewarding and enjoyable.

Would you have to go through Hayes as they do all the county supply in your area?

Don't think ther would be a problem with Hays - I did check before and there is nothign that makes an exclusive contract with them. Also I guess if there was anything with home tuition it would be a set amount of hours and a set (ish) period of time so probably outside of supply. So as I wouldn't want to have to turn down any long term teaching that came up, or bail out of doing the home tuition I am going to leave it for a bit and see how things pan out. I'm also signed up with Select now and they seem so much better than hays!

Have you tried any of the other agencies in your area as well, there are a few others I worked for from Brighton and found them pretty good?

Going to see how it goes with Hays and Select, if now then go for more, also thinking of signing up with an agency near my dad (london) for pre-booked multiple days. At the moment i'm just being optimistic (praying) that it will all work out here. Select does seem good, and have heard good things from others that are with them - who don't need to be with anyone else, so
