There was an interesting article in the Guardian the other day about whether teachers focus too much on phonics when teaching reading. I do feel phonics are an important part of the process, but other strategies are needed as well, especially once students are confident with decoding phonics, as of course reading for meaning is important as well. What do you think?

Super proud of this little lady! We went ice skating the other day. She really struggled at first and I was ready to give up, but she was determined to get the hang of it. One hour later she was whizzing around the rink! Great example of a growth mindset in action.

So today is meant to be Blue Monday. Make sure you do something extra nice for yourself today to cheer yourself up, I am looking forward to doing a nice meditation later on.

Why am I posting a picture of a building site? Well, in a few weeks time, this building site is actually going to be my new office, which means I will be able to offer in person tutoring at my house in Dartford! This is really exciting and going to be such a game changer for us, no more marking on the dinner table!

This is one of the hardest things for English teachers to get right - how to keep students engaged when they study Shakespeare. I find one of the perks of online tutoring is being able to incorporate clips into the lessons and studying the plays in performance rather than just reading them off the screen.

I love the curiosity of little ones but it is great to see it in older ones as well. I particularly love it when you see older students finding the love for learning that they once had. If you would like to see your child rekindle their love for English, then get in touch to find out how we can help.
