A little glimpse into one of our group sessions ✏️🤍

Everyone working on what they need plenty of teaching, questions, practice and encouragement along the way.

Small groups mean I can still get round each child individually while they also get the confidence and motivation of learning alongside others 🥰

Love what you do and you’ll never work a day in your life 💕
Busy wee hour! 😂

Not every child comes through the door ready to sit down and learn… and that’s okay 🤍

Sometimes we need to have a bit of fun first 🐊😂

For some children, building trust, having a laugh and feeling comfortable is the first step. Once they feel settled, the learning comes much more easily.

A wee glimpse of how we make tutoring work for the child in front of us 🥰

Playdough isn’t just for little ones 👀

One resource, completely different learning ✨

🔤 Building letters and developing letter formation
🔢 Making place value a little more hands-on and visual

Sometimes taking the pencil away and learning in a different way is all it takes to help something click 🤍

If your child is heading into P6, you might be starting to wonder… should they know more by now? 🤍

The jump into P6 can feel like a big one, especially with SEAG preparation beginning but they don’t need to know everything already.

In my P6 groups, I start by looking at where each child is currently at, identifying any gaps and building from there. We focus on making the trickier topics feel manageable, building confidence and making sure the foundations are secure before moving on.

Small groups, individual targets and regular feedback for parents ✏️

I have limited availability in my P6 group just send me a message if you’d like more information 🤍

A few resources I’ve been using in sessions recently 📚

I’m always looking for different ways to practise the same skills, especially the ones that take a bit longer to stick.

The fraction game has been really useful for fractions, decimals and percentages, and the spinning wheels make times table practice a bit less repetitive.

Sometimes keeping it simple works best!

Want to improve your child’s comprehension? Start with their vocabulary 🧠✨

This week we’ve been working on synonyms and antonyms building vocabulary and helping children understand the meaning of different words in context.

The stronger their vocabulary, the more confidently they can tackle comprehension questions 📖🤍

Vocabulary → Comprehension → Confidence ✨

💭 Ask your child: What word could you use instead of ‘happy’? Let me know what they come up with below! 👇

The jump from P5 to P6 can feel like a big one especially when SEAG suddenly starts to feel very real.

But your child doesn’t need to know everything straight away.

In my P6 group, we start by identifying any gaps, then build confidence and fluency before moving on.

Tricky topics are broken down and explained in different ways until they make sense.

Less overwhelm. More confidence.

Save this if your child is starting P6 this year.

Message me if you’d like more information about my P6 SEAG group.

When should you start SEAG preparation? For me, P5 is a great time.

But that doesn’t mean handing an 8 or 9-year-old a practice paper every weekend.

In fact, I don’t think that’s what most P5 children need.

At this stage, I’m much more interested in what’s happening underneath.

Are fractions secure?

Do time and decimals still cause confusion?

Can they tackle a problem without immediately worrying that they’ll get it wrong?

How confident are they with reading and comprehension?

These are the foundations we have time to work on in P5.

It also gives me time to identify gaps that may have been missed when the class needed to move on to the next part of the curriculum.

We can slow things down.

We can explain something differently.

We can practise until it actually makes sense rather than racing through content.

Then SEAG-style questions can be introduced gradually, without making every session feel like a test.

For some children, one of the biggest things we work on is confidence.

They may actually have the knowledge, but they’re so worried about being wrong that they’re reluctant to try.

That’s why I like having the time in P5 to build both **strong foundations and confidence** before the pressure increases in P6.

Save this if you have a child approaching SEAG preparation and you’re wondering when to begin.

If you’d like to know more about my new P5 SEAG preparation group, send me a message and I’ll give you the details.

A quick SEAG Maths tip 💡

Finding percentages doesn’t have to be tricky! Once children are confident finding 10%, they can use it as a building block to work out 20%, 30%, 40% and more. 🙌

A simple strategy that can make those percentage questions feel much more manageable.

Save this one for SEAG revision! 📚✨

One of my favourite parts of tutoring is watching children encourage each other. 💙

A little bit of healthy competition, lots of laughter and plenty of celebrating each other’s successes along the way. These moments help build confidence just as much as getting the right answer
