Learning Pals Tuition

d supporting children with special needs, including Deaf children. My focus is always on developing children's confidence, helping them to identify their strengths, and understand that we are all unique and have a lot to offer. My specialism is literacy and language development, using reading, writing, speaking and listening to open up a world of exciting and fun learning opportunities. I will talk to you and your child about what is going well and where we may need to offer some additional help. I can create exactly the right learning path for making progress, in the right size steps. I offer reading and/or writing support 1:1, in hourly or half hourly lessons. I am also trained in Self-Managed Learning, a brilliant way to support independent learning, that follows the children's interest. This is ideal for home educated children and young people, providing scaffolding for their learning, without imposing an inflexible structure. I offer this as 1:1, or small group and recommend a full hour. One of my all-time favourite group activities is Therapeutic Storywriting, children and teens absolutely love this opportunity to write imaginative stories, that often help them to address some of the things they are worried about, through the metaphor in the story. This is really helpful for children experiencing anxiety, or who have experienced difficult situations that they need help to process.
