INSPIRE AND ENCOURAGE
I help 9-16 year old children enjoy learning and make progress.
Primary school children in the UK spend around 15% of their waking time in school (and secondary school children not much more!). Within that time at school, they do many things apart from reading, writing and maths. So helping our children grow in confidence with reading, writing and maths at home is a fantastic opportunity. Importantly, helping children enjoy reading at home in particular is a lifelong gift…
“Reading for pleasure is more important for children’s cognitive development than their parents’ level of education and is a more powerful factor in life achievement than socio-economic background”.
I also believe in considering the whole child and that character education is essential. Reading, learning and developing numeracy and literacy skills are simply important parts of that journey.
So perhaps you are looking to support your child ahead of school exams or 11+ assessments? Or perhaps you are concerned about their progress and attainment or lack of reading? Whatever your situation, I hope that this website will include something for you.
You can read my blog posts and find out more about the services on offer here.
Please find out more about me personally here.
Whist the target age range is 9-16 years, hopefully many of the ideas and information will be helpful to those with younger children too…
By working with me, you are also supporting educational charities.
