Please note that by sending your child to the first tuition lesson, you agree to these T&Cs.

Registration:

Clients are required to provide contact details including child's and parent’s names, email and mobile number to enable me to communicate with you effectively.

Please be aware that I am unable to tutor for longer than our agreed time as this has a knock-on effect to my other students and schedule.

If a child is tutored in my home , and arrives later than their allocated time, the session will still run from the agreed times and the usual charge will apply.

Booking:

1. Lessons will last for a duration of 50 min (tuition sessions) . Verbal feedback will be given after the lesson has finished .

2. A consultation session is available for you to meet the tutor and discuss your child’s needs before tutoring commences. During this time an assessment session will then be undertaken with the child , (30 minutes) to identify areas of need from which a plan will be written . This consultation will be charged at normal rate.

Safeguarding:
1.Lessons will take place in client's home. There will be a limit of a maximum of 5 miles travelling / 20 minutes travelling time from my home . Over 4 miles may incur an additional charge.
2. Parents or guardians need to be present if in your home , within earshot for all lessons.

Cancelling Tuition

2 weeks notice must be given before cancelling tuition. If this occurs partway through a month, any refunds for unused tuition will be discussed with parent.

Student progress and parental involvement:

It is the parent’s responsibility to provide any additional information they feel is important to tuition. I do not provide written progress reports but will provide short feedback after each session .

Limitation of liability:

The tutor will strive to provide the best possible service. However, I will not be held accountable or responsible for the academic success or lack thereof demonstrated by the student/client. The tutor will do everything in their power to help levels and skill sets to improve, but the tutor can offer no guarantee thereto.

Unfortunately I have no capacity to take on new students at present .

Been quiet on here recently . Currently juggling being back in schools and tutoring !

School summer holidays are approaching fast . I'm sure as a parent this is a time you find hard to manage .

As a teacher I always found children took significant steps backwards in their learning over the holidays .

It's amazing how 6 weeks can impact progress . In my experience it can take them until autumn half term to return to where they were before the holidays .

Why not message me and I can help you to continue your child's learning hopefully lessening that backwards step in September ?

I am and always will be a teacher to my core . I absolutely adore supporting children to achieve their potential .

It makes me feel so good when I hear that children have made so much progress at school . It's not just the academic progress but the self confidence they develop . I hope that in some small way this is down to my tutoring .

If I can help a child to build up their self-confidence it's amazing what they can achieve . Academic progress is important but enjoying learning and wanting to learn has such a positive impact . A joy of learning is there for life .

Does your child have confidence issues impacting their ability to learn and make progress?

Why not message me and find out how I might be able to help .

My toolkits are everything but I was struggling with just one bag and multiple students swapping between . Now I still swap but not so often ! 🤣🤣

Common exception words can be so difficult for a child to learn .

At Owl's Nest we try to find memorable ways to learn spellings .

Standard Look, Say , Cover , Write , Check doesn't work for every child . Each child is unique . It's about finding what works best for each child; a more personalised approach .

Does your child struggle with spellings ?

Drop me a message .. I can help.
