In what areas can we help?
We provide professional after school tuition in Reading, Spelling,
English and
Mathematics for young people aged 6 to 16. Our students vary from
those who are
having difficulty with their schoolwork, to gifted children who need
to be
extended. We use internationally tried and tested resources that
fully
compliment the National Curriculum. We are able to offer tuition
through the
medium of Welsh.
Reading: All types of reading difficulties are catered for. These
range from children who are virtual non-readers, to children who
have only minor difficulties. Reading relates to every area of the
Childs education, so if your child is weak in several areas we will
usually suggest helping with the reading first.
Spelling: Some Children will struggle with reading and writing as
a whole or with key elements such as spelling. Individual problems
can be addressed – We cater for children who are in early stages
of spelling development, through to older pupils who have not yet
developed spelling competencies.
Grammar: We help pupils improve their grammatical skills with special
reference to punctuation, word knowledge, written expression and
formal essay writing. Not all children grasp grammar as a skill they
pick up on the way, and many need to be taught formally – and
a student confident in spelling and grammar will also blossom as
a better reader and writer.
Mathematics: Many children experience difficulty with mathematics at
some point, either early on in primary school or as complex concepts
are introduced in later years. Often, with professional assessment,
the cause emerges as a misunderstanding of basic principles. And yes,
we teach tables !
