Absorbent Minds Tutoring

👀 What's in the tutoring bag today?!

Water pistols, cups and mega blocks to name but a few!

Not your average tutor 🤣 (because I'm a big kid!)

This saddens me greatly. Our children need to be nurtured and given the freedom to explore our world, not tested yearly and treated as data 💔

Four-year-olds need nurturing to help them learn, not testing | Letters Letters: Readers respond to the Department for Education’s plans to introduce baseline assessments for four-year-olds, which led to a protest march by parents and children last week

Who said tutoring has to be all about worksheets and workbooks?!

We much prefer marshmallows and cocktail sticks 😂

Teacher life...!

Sadly I've had to turn several potential students away as I'm currently full.

The 11+ test is in September so please get in contact well before the test to arrange tuition 😊

Whilst we can never truly escape data in education, tutoring allows 1:1 meaningful conversation between teacher and child and empowers children with self confidence.

To me, a child will always be more than data. More than a test score. Children are as unique as snowflakes ❄ No test can measure that.

🎉 I'm delighted to say that Absorbent Minds is currently at full capacity! I've had so many new students sign up this week, I've no spaces left! Looking forward to this new adventure. 🎉

The pressure of tests on a child's mental health can be immense. Talking about feelings from an early age is so important ❤
