Kids Learn Fast

Join my free WhatsApp group where I post info from my books( see pic , these will be available for purchasing soon due to popular demand ) or look out for Elisa’s tips which I give out on important English info ( comps , Spag , descriptive writing , inference and creative writing ) for the 11 plus most days. I’m all for nature and if you join your children will learn all about it and how important it is. Apologies for my lack of posting this month that’s been due to the GCSEs but I’ll be back on here now again most days. I’ll try post more on here from my WhatsApp group so everyone benefits as there is a questionnaire to fill in for the group and you must be a parent to join not a tutor. Enjoy this beautiful weather how lucky it’s all happening during a half term ! Happy holidays x see you all soon x Ex # examsuccess

At KLF David Attenborough is our hero … he is the greatest teacher and educator of all time. He has brought nature and animals to the public and made them care about conservation. I tell all my pupils to listen to him because he is the most articulate man on this planet and he has made this world a much better place. He is a legend # birthday # nature

Read , read and then read some more ! Children become clever , confident and inventive when they do. Here are the books I highly recommend , they are all available on Amazon and of course I had to include my own ‘Tredicino and the Medalkion keeper “ 📚

Shakespeare is being examined more in the 11 plus than ever before as it really tests a child’s intelligence. It is now quite normal for children under the age of 11 to read Romeo and juliet or Macbeth. I think this is a great thing as it encourages close reading rather than skimming through it. Of course they use the children’s version . It also prepares them for gcse where studying Shakespeare is the norm. I’ve included some info on him here for you to read and I’d like to draw your attention to the fact he was born on the 23rd April and died on the 23rd April how often does that happen ? We can safely say that he was a very extraordinary man # Shakespeare # onlinetutor

Libraries thank goodness are making a comeback ! Children are enjoying searching for books and taking home 3/4 , taking 2 weeks to read them, then swopping them on their next visit . I loved going to the library as a child and I loved studying in my university campus one. There is something so wonderful about the silence and ordileness of the place . Things that are rare in the world we live in today where noise and chaos are normal. Also it’s great to be in a truly digitally free place. What do you think ? What is your library like ? Thank you librarians for keeping this little part of the world we all know non changing onlinetutor

Here at KLF we push reading because it’s the foundation of everything. A love of reading can change a child’s life and the way they think. Through reading we can visit different countries , live in different families and most importantly learn how to write properly. I’ve included a reading list for you here and a pic of my favourite Enid Blyton book. Every child should read Enid Blyton especially if they are not British. She teaches us about all things British which helps with passing the 11 plus. I also include a pic of my book Tredicino and the Medallion keeper because I wrote this book with the 11 plus in mind. There’s also a pic of me when I started teaching which was many moons ago. Let’s make this a spring and summer of avid reading # Enidblyton

Happy spring equinox, this is such a magical time for children and parents . The world suddenly looks like a different place and your garden becomes an extension of your living space. This is the season children learn so much , you just have to take them out there and nature will teach them lots. # onlinetutor

My parents are Itslian but there’s something about St Patrick’s day I love. Maybe it’s because I went to Roman Catholic schools all my life and found most of the friends I made were Irish. Then my don went to Catholic schools and again the friends he made were Irish. Somehow or another St Patrick’s day and the leprechauns have found their way into quite a few of my books. Namely Tredicino and the medallion keeper my novel@published by Hope and Plum and my me ,you and the universe series. I’ve included two pages from two of my books on this post. I think it’s the luck factor St Patrick’s day brings and the proverbs the Irish put out on this day which are so heartwarming. Plus I love fairies male and female. Again I’ve included a few of those for you. Hope you all find your pot of hold at the end of your rainbow.x # leprechauns # luckoftheirish

KLF supports international women’s day because we believe in girl power. We encourage our girls to pursue their dreams through being ambitious , being dedicated to their studies and by showing them inspiring role models. That’s why our girls regularly get into Henrietta , UCS and North London Collegiate.We explain women in history fought hard for the life we have here in the west , some girls elsewhere are not so lucky and find getting educated is almost an impossibility.So girls please strive for what you want to be , aim high and do lnot stop believing in the impossible
