My Services
When I start tutoring a child, I like to spend some time getting to know them and informally assessing their needs. I aim to identify strengths and vulnerabilities so I can suggest a programme of support through personalised support sessions. Early intervention and individualised sessions are key. I can offer support with:
Maths
English (the acquisition of phonics skills, spelling, reading and writing)
Early learning skills
Study skills
Emotional regulation
I offer after school tutoring at your home or at my home in Winsley. I am also happy to tutor in your child’s school (provided you can arrange this with school). I offer daytime sessions throughout school holidays.
What are the benefits of tutoring/1:1 support?
Having worked in schools for 15 years and with my special interest in children who find learning challenging, I strongly believe that 1:1 support can help children:
Embed early skills that might be making the foundations of learning shaky and difficult to build on.
Untangle misconceptions which are creating barriers to learning.
Manage their emotional regulation which might be impacting on their enjoyment of school and their learning.
Develop a growth mindset which means they have a more positive attitude towards learning.
Build executive functioning skills.
Take responsibility for their learning journey.
Discover motivation and new passions.
