Whether you choose to carry on with the lessons through the holidays is completely at your discretion.

We have some families who just work with us in term time, others carry on right through. Some families will get in touch and ask if we can just work with them during a specific school break. Because the children are at home during the school day it gives us a lot more flexibility which generally means we can definitely help.

If you do want to continue in the holidays, we can often be more flexible with the days /times. Again, just ask if that would make life easier for you. This is generally at your discretion. Obviously, the tutors will have their own holidays booked, family birthdays, etc. but on the whole, lessons are available all year if you want them. If you would like to break over the holidays, no problem, just let us know in advance so that we can plan accordingly.

For the past 20+ years I have been a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that traditionally education has revolved around worksheets, textbooks, listening to teachers. But a grounding in early years and working with children who had a variety of learning styles from I learned that it is an individual activity that is personal to all of us. We don’t all learn in the same way. Our influences, our experiences, our capabilities all influence how we retain information. But through it all, I believe that if we can make it enjoyable and engaging, they will want to participate. With participation comes practice which in turn boosts skill and confidence. With an increase in skill and confidence comes a willingness to have a go. This in turn leads to more practice which leads to a positive spiral of success. The moral, we need to make learning fun, engaging, use a range of techniques.
