Hurray! Good for you!

We've also had good successes with our eldest when he makes the request himself.

The mind boggles. When I hear something this absurd, I usually figure that there's another agenda at work. Just my two cents.

Another two cents: do you have a friend with a teaching certification who'd be willing to sign the paper saying s/he's his tutor? She could sign, the college prof. could tutor your son, and everyone would be happy.
