One-to-One support available

One of the fundamental benefits of personalised, individual or small group tuition is that it enables your child or young person to feel emotionally safe so they can be open about what they're finding hard in their learning. By receiving targeted support to meet individual needs, their self-esteem and confidence increase which then feeds into other elements of their learning and wellbeing.

I would be pleased to meet with you and your child for an informal online chat prior to starting lessons. It's important that the relationship between myself, you, and your child is strong so they gain the best from their time with me.

The first lesson will be an assessment of needs in order to plan the learning programme going forward. It will also be an opportunity for your child to really express their own thoughts as to what they feel I can do to support their learning.  With small group learning I endeavour to group according to ability rather than only by age as I find it creates the best learning opportunity for my students. 

Learning will be fun, using a variety of multisensory learning strategies and activities in order to support memory and recall of information; very often a difficulty for students that are finding learning tricky. 

Lessons are planned so that the learning is individualised to the students' specific needs.
