How I Can Help
There are many reasons why parents approach me for tutoring, help and support with their children. Most parents contact me through recommendation, where they have heard about the success and well-being of another child of a friend or relative. Others are referred through Educational Psychologists and teachers, and some are just unsure as how best to help their child, and contact me through advertisement in the hope of some direction forward. Some further reasons are listed as follows:
- Preparation for entrance examinations into schools
- SATS
- GCSE
- Dyslexia
- Dyspraxia
- ADHD
- Mild Autistic Spectrum
- Aspergers Syndrome
- Parents concerned at their child’s lack of progress or general difficulties at school, but who have been given no reason for their child’s apparent problems
- Children who have fallen behind due to long absences from school
- Children who have moved school and failed to settle for a combination of reasons
- Children who have been through some emotional trauma and have fallen behind at school
- Children who under-achieving due to a bullying, upsets at school etc.
- Children who need support and help with poor motor skills (handwriting)
- Children who would benefit from learning touch typing skills
- Children who have fallen behind through any number of reasons and need to build a solid foundation, or who would benefit from going back to basics
Over the years, many children have passed through my door. Some work with me for a matter of months, their goal being the successful outcome of an entrance examination. Some children begin sessions at the age of three or four, and continue to see me throughout their educational career. These children remain with me for extra support and in the knowledge that we work well together as a team. I understand how they work and what they need in order to learn to the best of their ability. Many have passed into the private educational system, whereas others are now in the secondary sector of the state system. Some are working towards their GCSE. There are children who take a break after having attended a fixed number of sessions, returning for refresher courses or extra support as and when necessary.
