Each tutoring session will be personalised to the child’s individual needs, confidence and learning goals. Before starting, I will identify the areas they are confident in and the areas where they may need additional support, allowing me to plan sessions that are purposeful and engaging.

A typical session may include:

*A quick warm-up- to recap previous learning and get the child thinking.
*Teacher modelling- where I clearly explain and demonstrate the new skill.
* Guided practice - where we work through examples together and I provide support and questioning.
* Independent practice -, allowing the child to apply what they have learnt independently.
* Targeted activities - based on their specific gaps or areas for development.
* A recap at the end - checking their understanding and celebrating their progress.

I use a range of visual resources, practical activities, questioning, games and personalised worksheets to keep lessons engaging and suitable for the child’s age and ability.

For children preparing for SATs or school assessments, sessions can also include practice questions, exam-style activities and strategies for approaching different question types.

Most importantly, I want every child to leave a session feeling that they have learnt something new, made progress and grown in confidence. My aim is to make tutoring a positive experience rather than simply giving children more schoolwork.
