Would you like more support to help you with your child’s reading and writing? Would you like support so that you can prepare your child at home for 11+ exams? Well, coaching and mentoring for parents can do just that.
The aim of a session is to
- find appropriate ways to engage your child with reading and writing (and possibly 11+ preparation) at home
- enable your child to make more progress out of school
- support you as you support your child
You may be concerned about your child ‘keeping up’ in class, having additional needs or generally struggling. You may be worried about their motivation and interest with reading and writing at home? Sometimes it is difficult to integrate reading and writing into family life. Perhaps your child is gifted but getting bored and you wish to extend an area of interest? Or perhaps you are looking to prepare for a specific goal, such as 11+ exams.
Every child, every family and every situation is unique. As a result we can talk about school, home, special educational needs, book choices…We can delve into other reading material, extending speech and language, family practicalities, tutors, the details of different 11+ strategies and preparation…In other words, anything that is relevant. If you are keen to support yourself, and to further support your child, then a coaching consultation may well be helpful.
Mentoring and coaching for parents – the details
When and where? We usually hold the consultation via Zoom at a mutually convenient time.
What will we discuss? This will depend on your particular situation and needs. However, we are likely to discuss
- Your concerns, needs or goals
- The interests, hobbies and characteristics of your child.
- Specific ideas or specific strategies to achieve your goals or address your concerns.
- How to motivate your child, manage expectations and set a longer term plan
How much and how many sessions? I charge £30 for a 40 minute consultation. This includes reviewing any information you send me in advance.
I suggest a minimum of two consultations in order to provide follow-up suggestions and a review.
However, a medium-term mentoring style programme may be more beneficial to you. I provide package bundles depending on your needs. For example, 6 x 30 minute consultations at £20 per session over a period of a few months may suit a family preparing for 11+ or with a longer-term set of needs. Please contact me to discuss your situation and I can provide options.
Yes, please! If you are interested in a consultation, please contact me for further information and to get going!
I look forward to hearing from you!
