Home educating for English IGCSE?

Not sure if I'd be better posting this in Living Overseas, but here goes!
We live in France, & DS1 (nearly 11) has always had some kind of "extra" English lessons - tutors etc - since the age of 4 as I feel it's crucial to have a good grounding in Grammar, spelling and the nuts and bolts of English that he would miss out on if he only spoke English at home (DH & I are both English & speak it at home, his schooling is entirely French)
It's been pretty successful over the years, and he's achieved the standard of a similar aged child in the UK (based on KS2 testing) For various reasons it's becoming increasingly difficult to get him to his lessons & I'm looking at other options, as I really think it's important to continue for as long as possible. Having given it a lot of thought, I would really like to try and continue teaching him myself, at home, and eventually take the IGCSE. Is this do-able and possible? I have no idea where to start with resources, information etc. As a guide, he has two hours English lesson a week at school (where he is allowed to work from worksheets I set him instead of learning his colours and we also have an hours formal lesson with a teacher, as well as homework, and lot's of reading in English.
Am I being unrealistic? Are we likely to end up hating each other? tia for any advice

Would something like the course Catherine Mooney offers be of use?

I haven't used it but have heard good things about it.

Yes, quite possibly - I had found her site when I did a general search. It's positive to hear you've heard good reports!

Your main issue is finding an exam centre. If you can sort that out (near UK family?), you should not have a problem. You can check out the exam boards' websites for the exam specification.
