Absorbent Minds Tutoring

19/05/2019

👀 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 💔

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 😂

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.

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

YouGov poll suggests school leaders believe the exams lead to a narrowing of the curriculum being taught.
