What's the process?

 1. Initial consultation about needs

The process begins with a free exploratory conversation where I get to know your child’s unique needs and learning style. This initial consultation allows us to discuss your goals and determine if we’re the right fit for each other.

2. Arrange online or in person sessions at a time suitable for both

Each tutoring session is tailored to your child’s individual strengths and areas for improvement, using a variety of teaching materials that engage and challenge them.

Once we decide to move forward, sessions are scheduled on a weekly basis, either in the comfort of your home or online, depending on your preference.

3. Provide ongoing feedback on progress in sessions.

Throughout the tutoring process, regular feedback will be provided to keep both students and parents informed about progress. This includes identifying strengths, addressing areas for improvement, and tailoring future sessions to meet the evolving needs of the student, ensuring continuous development and confidence building.

Every Child Has the Capacity to
Achieve Greatness

With Maths and English Tutoring and Mentoring I focus on building confidence, developing a lifelong love for learning and ensuring your child not only achieves academic success but also grows as an independent, motivated learner.

In-Person Tutoring

For those who prefer in-person instruction, Lesley offers home tutoring, where she visits your home to work with your child. This option allows learning to take place in a comfortable and familiar environment, making it easier for your child to focus.

Each session is customized to suit your child’s learning style and academic goals, providing a calm and focused setting for their growth.

Online Tutoring

Online tutoring offers the flexibility to learn from home through platforms like Zoom, FaceTime, or Teams. These sessions are designed to be as effective as in-person tutoring, with lessons tailored to your child's needs and plenty of opportunities for interaction and feedback.

Whether it’s specific subjects or general study skills, online tutoring provides a supportive learning environment that fits into your routine.

Mentoring

Lesley's mentoring approach is built around the well-established GROW coaching model, integrating mindfulness strategies when appropriate. This flexible mentoring can complement tutoring or function as a standalone service, depending on the goals of the young person. 

With a focus on fostering personal growth, her mentorship helps young individuals develop confidence, clarity, and the skills they need to achieve their full potential.
