Contracted words can be tricky for some children.

It can be hard to work out which letters to take out and where to place the apostrophe.

I tend to find that, for children who struggle with this, it often starts to click when they’re given the opportunity to physically take out the letters and add the apostrophes in themselves.

This evening, a young man I’ve been working with did just that.

During the activity, he shared:

“I get it now.”

“I’ve noticed something. Like when I contract words with will, I take out the wi.”

“It makes sense now.”

And the result afterwards...

He could write some of them correctly on a whiteboard. 🙌
Check out the comments to see how he got on.

I’m a big believer that there is more than one way to learn something.

If one way isn’t working, try another. It may just click.

What is PrimeAmy Tutoring really about?

14/09/2026

Today, PrimeAmy Tutoring is 3 years old! 🎉

I can't fully put into words how proud I am to have kept going, growing and developing my business over the last three years.

There's been a lot going on behind the scenes personally, yet throughout it all I've continued to provide tuition with a difference to so many clients and their children, with results and confidence that have shone far beyond the tuition in the room on the night.

And with that growth, I realised it was time to have a business that truly represents who I am, what I'm about and what I provide.

So today, on PrimeAmy Tutoring's third birthday, I'm very proud to reveal my new business logo! 💗

This is just the beginning of a new chapter for PrimeAmy Tutoring. Over the coming days, I'll be sharing more about what the business stands for, what makes my approach to tuition different, and where PrimeAmy is heading next.

I'd love to know what you think of the new look, and I hope you'll stick around to see what's coming next. ✨

I’ve just been reading an article on a Saturday night (yes, call me boring! 😂) which reports that this year, the gap between disadvantaged Year 6 pupils and their peers has widened. The gap is now close to the level seen immediately after the pandemic. 😔

During the COVID pandemic, I was still a classroom teacher, trying to adapt to a completely new way of educating children remotely.

At the time, I thought the disruption could have been a real opportunity for governments and those making decisions about education to look closely at the National Curriculum and ask: which elements are crucial for children to master the essential skills they need for life and future learning?

It could have been an opportunity to overhaul the primary curriculum.

Instead, when schools reopened, we largely went back to what we had before, with the addition of COVID ‘catch-up’.

While there could of course be other factors at play, I can’t help but wonder whether we missed an opportunity to do things differently.

Reading these figures several years later, I can’t help but ask:
How well has that really been working out for our children? 😔

What a lovely way to end the week!

Tuition with a new starter.

There was lots of fun, laughter and smiles. 🤎

This week has been extremely busy!

There’s been lots going on behind the scenes at PrimeAmy Tutoring. Lots that I’m excited about and will be revealing soon! 👀

Because of this, I’m still working tonight - planning fun, highly engaging and tailored sessions in my pyjamas. 😂

No matter how busy I get, I always make time to plan the best sessions possible for the children I work with. 🤎

There’s more than one way to teach something. 🤎

Sometimes, learning doesn’t stick.

One of the reasons for this can be that it wasn’t delivered in a way that helped the child to grasp it.

Maybe they needed to do it practically.

Maybe they needed to see more examples, with each part of the skill broken down using different colours.

Maybe they simply needed it explained differently.

At PrimeAmy Tutoring, we celebrate different ways of learning and give children the opportunity to learn in a way that works for them. 🤎
