All lessons are held online so that students can join from the comfort of their own home. We will start the first session with a couple of games to relax and get to know each other. We will also talk about what you would like to learn in the sessions and create a future plan. We'll complete some short tasks together so that I can identify what students are already doing well with and where any gaps in learning are. This will also be added into our shared plan for the sessions.

Each regular session will then follow a similar format to the below:
-A learning game to start the session and warm up our brains (5-10 minutes)
-Recap prior learning: we will spend 10-15 minutes going over any previous areas and celebrate successes. If areas need continued revision, we'll spend a little longer on it.
-Main learning (25-30 minutes): we'll then devote the majority of the session getting stuck into an area of new learning. This will have been previously identified together, or it could be at the request of the student following finding something more challenging at school. Within this time, we'll make sure we know why we need this skill and work through the new skill in manageable steps, not moving onto the next step until the previous is reinforced and deeply understood.
-Application (5 minutes): We'll finish the session with a game or activity that requires application of the current or previously covered skill.

Sessions are held on Zoom and we will use a range of online learning tools and games to enhance the session. Each student will be taught how to use the interactive whiteboard and editing skills so that they can be an active participant throughout.

My current and previous students have reported feeling an increase in confidence right from the very first session and look forward to their lessons each week!
