Online tuition is coming! 💻✨

This year, I’m offering online tuition as an option.

Online lessons have lots of benefits — there’s no travelling to and from lessons, which means we can make better use of our time and I can offer more availability in the evenings. It also allows me to reach more students, while still providing the same personalised, one-to-one support and teaching you’re used to.

For students, it can be a really convenient option: simply log in from home, get settled, and your lesson can begin! 🏡📚

I’m giving my current students the opportunity to swap to online tuition if you’d like to give it a try. You may find that you actually prefer the flexibility and convenience of online lessons!

For those who would prefer to continue face-to-face, I’m happy to keep things that way. However, I may eventually need to make some changes to lesson days and times, so I’ll always communicate this with you in advance.

If you’ve been wondering whether online tuition could work for you, why not give it a go? You might be surprised by how effective, easy and convenient it can be! 😊

📘 Common mistakes in Maths SATs questions

One of the biggest issues I see?

👉 Rushing and not reading the question properly!

This often leads to simple mistakes — even when children know how to do the maths.

Here’s how I help avoid this 👇

✔️ Read the question twice
✔️ Underline key words to help decide which operation to use
✔️ Double check the operation — did they add instead of subtract?
✔️ Double-check the answer

These small habits can make a big difference in SATs results 💛
