The Clara James Approach to learning
When it comes to learning we are all individuals.
The past 20+ years have taught me that no matter our learning style if the child is engaged and relaxed they are more likely to learn.
If we just keep giving them the same resources, varied over and over again, all we are doing is giving them one place in their brains to find the information. However, by giving them a variety of resources we can make it more interesting, more relevant, and help them to create multiple memories so that when they need to recall the information, they have more places they can go to in order to find it.
If we can boost their confidence as well as their knowledge we will make their life and ours easier.
For 20 years now I've been fascinated by different learning styles: ASD, Dyslexia, ADHD. The purpose of this podcast is to share my findings with you, so that maybe what I've learned will be of help to you too.

The hardest part of tutoring
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
I love tutoring, it has completely changed my life. Not just financially, but also the confidence I have in myself and my abilities. I’m still not an outwardly confident person but I am no longer the timid, quiet person I was before. Through tutoring I have met some incredible people: children, their parents, other tutors, other professionals.
Would I change the decision to become a tutor? No.
However, are there aspects of tutoring I would love to change? Yes.
When I started to write this, I thought I would struggle to think of anything, but actually… once I got started, it got a whole lot easier!
These were the 3 I decided would make the final cut.
At the end of the podcast I mention my "Start tutoring with confidence pack" which you can download for free here: The Clara James Tutor's Group (I hope you find it helpful)
