Description
This course is aimed at the parents of children aged roughly between 3 and 10 (though it very much depends on the interests and ability of your child).
The course introduces a wide range of ideas that you can use and adapt to support your child with different aspects of maths and English including times tables, phonics, and hand writing skills to name but a few.
Having worked in a variety of educational settings for over 20 years now, including running a very successful tutoring business here in the UK for the past 12, I have learned that if our children enjoy what they are doing they will be more inclined to want to have a go.
The more they get involved and have a go, the more practice they are getting. The more practice they get, the better they become. With increased skill, they also gain increased confidence. It becomes a positive spiral of success.
With an interest in supporting neurodivergent learners I have also learned that by offering a range of resources we are also supporting our children with creating multiple memories. This means that when they need to recall the information, their brain has more places it can go to where it can find what it needs.
This is the fundamental logic of what lies behind creating this course.
With more than 12 resources to download, I hope you have as much fun in carrying out the activities as I did in creating the course.
Enjoy!

Create your dream tutoring business/support math & English
When my oldest daughter was young, she came across as being very clever and astute when you spoke to her, but when you saw her written work, you would think it had been produced by a completely different child. She could spell the same word 2 or 3 different ways on the same page and not notice a difference between any of them.
I asked her school if they agreed that she might be dyslexic. They instantly dismissed dyslexia as an excuse for laziness.
I didn’t have the confidence to push my point further so I decided to do everything I could to help her myself.
Over the coming years I learned everything I could about different learning styles and learning difficulties. I completed a degree in childcare and education and worked in numerous educational settings. Often with children that had profound learning difficulties.
In 2012 I started a tutoring business. Everything I had learned up to this point influenced how I presented it. Everything I had learned told me that for learning to be effective it had to be inspiring, motivating, interactive. The child needed to be relaxed, feel confident and enjoy the experience. So those were the foundations I used. Those were the principles that made us so different from so many other tutors. These experiences and influences were what have led us to be nominated for several national business awards and help numerous children in the UK and beyond, develop both confidence and knowledge in both math and English.
In addition, I am now helping families by providing short courses with explanations and suggested resources. These are the resources that we use as tutors and have proven so popular and successful.
