I honestly couldn’t be prouder of this superstar! 💜🙌

I love how adaptable online learning can be and it’s so nice to receive feedback from parents like this 🥰

Thanks for the shout out Verity Parkes Permanent Make Up Artist

Not PMU related but I just want to give a shout out to Noteworthy Tuition

My youngest alexia , is home schooled we’ve been using Noteworthy for several months and she is absolutely thriving and doing so well 🥰🥰 and it’s all thanks to Nicola’s skills and patience

Whether your child is home schooled or just require additional ad hoc schooling we highly highly recommend xx

Not allowed to post a pic of alexia but here is a nala pic for attention . (This is her usual position as she keeps alexia company while she’s doing her classes 😁😁)

I’ve just reserved a spot for my maths group for September 2027! It’s never too early guys 😜

Can you guess what we were working on in my English group today?

Libby was cold.

Libby shivered in her water-filled boots as she pulled her sugar-dusted coat around her body.

🙌

Absolutely awesome work from the year sixes who were working on describing rather than telling. 🤩

It’s sometimes called ‘show me, don’t tell me’ and there are lots of fun games you can create around this idea.

Why not have a go at this activity with your child?

💭 Show me that your character is hot, cold, angry, sad or tired etc. without telling me.

Always focus on talking through ideas first before attempting to write anything.

Have fun!

What are your experiences of online learning? A game-changer or do you prefer face to face sessions? 🤔

I’ve just worked out that 75% of my sessions during the day are all online; this definitely wasn’t what I thought my life as a tutor would look like but I am loving it.

I obviously love my face to face sessions too! I feel like I get the best of both worlds 💜

Feel free to share your experiences below. Do you enjoy sessions in person, online or do you enjoy both like me?

Well that summer flew by! ☀️😍

Here’s a bit of proof I’m still here after a much-needed summer break!

Is anyone else out there trying to model less screen time to their kids while running a business that relies heavily on using their phone and laptop?! 🙃

Whether you’re back to school, settling into home-ed life after the summer or embarking on something else new, I want to wish you all the very best for the chapter ahead.

How is the new term looking for your family so far?

Three holiday sessions completed today! 🙌

One online student currently in Central America 🌎 and two face-to-face sessions delivered in the village! 🏠

From online EYFS phonics and maths support, to making Year 4 division fun! Yes, honestly! 😅

I have absolutely loved seeing some familiar faces this afternoon and look forward to welcoming some new students that are joining me this summer over the next few weeks!

Sometimes the biggest breakthroughs in maths come from revisiting those smallest building blocks first.💡

☀️ As I get ready for my summer boost sessions, I'm choosing some of my favourite maths activities that I find super useful for helping me understand students' thinking.

🧠 A few short activities can reveal so much about a child's confidence with maths and also where I can best support them.

Two of the key building blocks that I tend to find need most attention and support are 'subitising' and 'part-whole understanding'.

🔢 Subitising (recognising how many there are without counting)

🔢 Part-whole understanding (seeing how numbers can be split up and then put back together again)

Developing these skills helps children to:

🧮 Develop a stronger number sense

➕ Understand the relationship between addition and subtraction more deeply

🧠 Spot patterns with numbers and make connections

💡 Build confidence

It's amazing how revisiting these foundations can can help maths start to make sense and sometimes I find they help to unlock barriers.

I'll be sharing more posts over the summer with simple ways to develop these skills at home, so if you don't already follow my page, I'd love for you to join me! 😊

🎶 These superstars have just had their final ukulele session before the summer break. 🎶

Here's a screenshot of us celebrating a whole year of learning together! It's flown by!!

They really do work so hard every week, and along with their ukuleles, they always bring the biggest smiles with them. 🥰

It's hard to put into words, but there is much more than just musical progress being made each week.

Aside from strumming patterns and chord shapes, I have loved watching confidence blossom, new friendships form, and just a real sense of achievement at the end of each lesson. 💜

I can't wait to see what September holds for this awesome little group! 🙌

If you are interested in your child joining me in the autumn term, don't hesitate to get in touch.

Is everyone feeling warm enough?! 🫠

🌎 A super busy start to the week over here with online sessions reaching all over the country - and further afield too!

I've just realised that the majority of my sessions on Mondays and Tuesdays are all online, including:

💫 Maths, English, science with a Year 8 student

🌎 Early years maths and phonics with a world-schooling student

💫 Maths and English with a Year 3 student

💻 Computing with a Year 6 student

🎶 Ukulele group session

💫 Maths, English and science with a Year 7 student

I never thought I'd teach as many online sessions as I do, especially after lockdown tested my technology skills to the limit. I admit I was quite apprehensive at first but I really love online learning now 🙌

Today I've been SO glad that the majority of sessions were online, mostly so I could avoid travelling around in this heat! 😅

After-school students had lots of fans and cold drinks on offer to help cool us down 💦

In fact, fans and cold drinks will feature highly in the rest of this week's sessions!

Please share your tips for keeping cool! 😎
