I'm an advocate of the importance of young people learning about their strengths, as well as their challenges, as this can help to inform the way forward. It enables consideration about what strategies work best for them as an individual in order to assist their learning. When a young person is struggling it is imperative that everyone is working together and are fully knowledgeable of the young person's voice, specific needs and background. Often it is about looking at the bigger picture and connecting the dots for everyone.

“Amanda is very engaging with the children. Very patient and professional. Provides excellent lesson structure and always made lessons fun. Amanda, always thinks of your child and how to bring the best out of them. I would highly recommend AJC Tutoring.”
Mrs J
"Amanda has been amazing working with my 14 year old.....she has delivered some video chat lessons and has been really patient with my unwilling son who is not interested in doing any school work. Her skills for dealing with his Verbal Processing Dyslexia have been brilliant..."
Mrs M
“Amanda was extremely
helpful, not just for our boys but us as well. Explaining what was needed and finding different ways in which the boys could learn. Was all the extra work worth it? Absolutely!
Both boys were successful in their assessments and Amanda can take a lot of credit for their success."

Is your child struggling to keep up with their learning?
Have you concerns about their progress?
Has school the resources to meet their needs?
Would they benefit from some individual or small group support?
If so, please do get in touch for an informal chat about how I can help.
