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 !
