Need help how to get predicted grades am homeschooled

I am a homeschooled student applying to university through UCAS and need predicted grades. I understand that these can sometimes come from tutors. Can anyone explain which type of tutor is acceptable, whether they need specific qualifications, and how I could arrange a credible mock assessment for this purpose?

Tutors are okay (unis are well versed with this), but of course make sure they've got a business email and not a gmail/yahoo one.

Your reference could also say that you are homeschooled and so can't provide predicted grades.

Hi Michelle,

I'd second the advice above. However, if you are in doubt after talking to your tutors, why not ring up the admissions teams of the unis you're interested in? People who are homeschooled apply for uni every year, and they will be familiar with this situation and able to advise you on how to communicate this to them.

I hope this helps and best of luck with your next steps!
