Traditionally, education has been a didactic process of instructions being committed to memory through sitting and listening. However, it is my belief that learning is in fact, not just being ‘taught’, but an interactive experience that employs a multisensory approach to embed new concepts. This is supported by research which confirms that multisensory learning is not only more inclusive and effective with neurodiversity, but that it engages more of the brain, resulting in superior learning outcomes and metacognition.

Metacognition, is defined as one’s ability to use prior knowledge to plan a strategy for approaching a task, take necessary steps to resolve issues, reflect on and evaluate results, and modify one’s approach as needed. Arguably, this is a skill needed not just for academic attainment, but for life.

At Inspired to Accomplish, I aim to combine traditional rote learning with hands on investigation and sensory exploration, to equip children with the tools to solve problems. I then encourage them to explore how to best utilise these skills whilst still feeling supported and safe to do so.

Your child will be tutored (within their zone of proximal development) using a combination of traditional teaching methods including spoken delivery, modelling, repetition, and recorded work; combined with interactive sensory exercises, experiential learning and tailor-made revision plans for independent learning to promote metacognition.

Your child can be taught all aspects of the primary curriculum, coached with literacy and numeracy where there are gaps due to covid or SEN, coached to work towards functional skills exams, and supported to build resilience and confidence with learning following negative experiences in education.

My tutoring can be designed to complement and support what your child is learning in school, or to fit in with and enrich your elective homeschool program. I also work with local authorities to provide tutoring for EOTAS.
