🔢 PLACE VALUE 🔢

I'm so proud of this tutee, she is nailing place value work.

She wasn't sure about larger numbers to begin with but she has really come out of her shell and is tackling things she finds tricky head first!

We covered:
* 3 digit numbers increasing up to 6 digits
* Some 7 digit numbers for an extra challenge
* Reading numbers
* Writing down the digits for numbers I read out
* Focused on place value columns
* Adding/subtracting 10/100/1000/10,000

🎲 TUTEE GAME 🎲

It was so lovely to see that one of my tutees had created her own times table game for us to play. She had made it up completely unprompted and on her own during the week. So much thought had gone into the different cards to pick up including: 'miss a go', 'take one from another player' and '?×3='. Such a fun game to start our session and to work on the 3 times table. 🤩

1️⃣1️⃣➕️ 11+ GRAMMAR SCHOOL PREP 1️⃣1️⃣➕️

Is your child thinking of taking the 11+?
Feeling unsure about where to start? 👇

The 11+ can feel daunting for children.
My goal is to reduce test anxiety and prepare children in a calm, supportive way.

In my 11+ prep sessions we cover the 4 main areas:
📝 **English**
🔢 **Maths**
🗣️ **Verbal Reasoning**
🧩 **Non-Verbal Reasoning**

What we do in sessions:
- Practice questions in exam style
- Revise key Maths topics & grammar
- Mock tests to build confidence
- Work at your child’s pace and depth

My approach isn't about cramming. It's about familiarising children with the *style* of 11+ questions.
Verbal and Non-Verbal Reasoning aren't often taught in school, so prep sessions are key to introducing them.

Want to chat about whether 11+ prep would help your child? DM me "11+" and I’ll send you more info 💬

😎☀️ SUMMER HOLIDAYS ☀️😎

The summer holidays have arrived! It's time to relax and enjoy a well earned break from school.

Steph Lane Tutoring will remain open for most of the summer holidays but I will also be enjoying some time off too!

Just because school stops doesn't mean that learning has to 👩‍🏫

🎂 Happy 1st Birthday to Steph Lane Tutoring! 🎂

A year ago I packed up my classroom and said goodbye to working in schools after 8 years of teaching 😥

It was tough, emotional and scary... BUT 1 year on and Steph Lane Tutoring is in motion and I am loving it 🥰

Looking back on this year, I’m amazed at how quickly things turned around. July 2025 was a really tough time and now here we are in July 2026 and I’m so happy! 🥳

Over the past year, I have had the privilege of tutoring so many amazing tutees. I’ve loved getting to know them and supporting them on their learning journeys. It’s been wonderful to see their confidence grow and watch them flourish 🤩

A year isn’t long but a lot can change in that time. Here’s to the next year of Steph Lane Tutoring! 😊

🏓 PING PONG WRITING 🏓

Got a reluctant writer? This activity hooks them in fast.

How it works: Take turns writing 1-2 sentences to build a story together.

There's no pressure for it to make sense! You can model good sentence structure in the parts you write.

Need more prompting? Try:
→ Verbally plan a plot first
→ Use story dice
→ Set challenges: include a particular character/object, use 3 adjectives, start with a fronted adverbial

It’s fun, minimal set up and you’re writing WITH them. Confidence grows because it’s a game, not a test.

I use this lots in sessions and it always provides laughter ✏️

🥵TUTORING IN A HEATWAVE 🥵

It's been incredibly hot this week but we've powered on through our learning with the help of:

🌬 Fans
🚿 A water spray bottle
💧 Drinking plenty of water
🍦 Ice cream kindly given to me from one family 🥰

We've done all we can to stay cool and I'm very proud of how all my tutees have still given their all in their learning 😎

⏰️ TELLING THE TIME ⏰️

Today we worked on reading the time on a clock face, digital time and converting between the 12 and 24 hour clock 🕐 Making things visual really helps this tutee and she enjoyed using a clock resource to make the times. We also got creative and made a poster as a helpful top tips/revision page 🎨

📊 PICTOGRAMS 📊

She went from “not sure” to creating her own brilliant pictogram in one session!

We did some pre-teaching for the Summer 2 term ☀️

Focus: keys and how to create, complete, read & interpret pictograms.

Keys bigger than 1 or 2 were tricky at first 🤔 so we did extra work on those. By the end, she was devising her own questions!

Her example: picnic blanket = 10, showing how many picnics were had each season 🧺

Pre-teaching = confidence for the term ahead.

I'm so proud of her growing confidence 🤩

☀️ LEARNING OUTSIDE ☀️

We made the most of the lovely sunshine and took our learning outside today 😎 The focus was money. Using different coins, we made given amounts using different combinations of coins. Then we moved onto rounding amounts to the nearest 10p using a hundred square as a visual aid. She grew in confidence just in this session that she decided to attempt the last few questions without the hundred square 🥳
