By the way, "mastery learning" refers to an approach where you don't simply practice something until you get it right, but until you never get it wrong! 🤓

"Confidence doesn’t come from KNOWING what will happen. It comes from knowing that no matter what happens, you can ADAPT" - Simon Sinek.

This sums up exactly what a well-prepared student feels like when they go into an exam (or Teacher Assessment!). If you want to share that feeling, get in touch! 😎💜

For many students (and their parents), the biggest advantage of having a tutor is the gain in confidence that comes from working on a 1:1 basis with an experienced subject specialist. But don't just take my word for it! This review is from the mother of one of my current year 11 students:

"𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙞𝙨 𝙖 𝙜𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙩 𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙤𝙣`𝙨 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙛𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙞𝙢𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙙 𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙘𝙚 𝙂𝙚𝙤𝙛𝙛 𝙝𝙖𝙨 𝙗𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙪𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙝𝙞𝙢. 𝙒𝙚 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙮 𝙥𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚𝙙 𝙞𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙬𝙤𝙪𝙡𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙡𝙮 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙙 𝙝𝙞𝙢." 😎💜

Some interesting ideas about how to help students make up the time they have lost in the last year. Longer school days? Funded tutors for disadvantaged students? (What about non-disadvantaged students?). Repeating a year?

If everyone has been affected, surely nobody is "behind" relative to anyone else?

What is the best way forward? Clear thought and planning is needed! What do you think?

A massive task lies ahead for schools as they try to make up for teaching time lost during the pandemic.

How can you help your kids catch up after (or even during) lockdown? Maybe consider some extra 1:1 tuition with a friendly, experienced ex-teacher? 🙂

Schools are doing their best with online learning, but the provision is still very mixed. What students miss most of all is quality, 1:1 interactions with their teachers. I can provide that for GCSE Sciences and A level Biology.

So why not get ahead in the race to catch up? Contact me for more information 😎

Sir Kevan Collins will be an "education recovery commissioner" to help pupils catch up from Covid disruption.

Are articles like this helpful at the moment? Aren't times challenging enough already without speculation such as this?🤔

I'd like to hear your thoughts...😎

Top marks to this headteacher. We take a lot for granted at the moment, so celebrating the little victories is important 😎💜

The uncertainty continues! 🙄

Don't forget though, that even if Teacher Assessments are used as the sole method of grading students this year, the students with the deepest and greatest understanding will get the best TA grades.

Extra tuition can make a massive difference with that understanding (and confidence) - especially at a time when online learning provided by schools is so inconsistent and variable. Easter is till a long way off...

The education secretary says schools in England will be given two weeks' notice before reopening.

Don't forget about BBC Bitesize! It may have been around for ever, but it's still a great resource to help with revision and to support your online learning 😎💜
