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.

A Tutoring Chat & Coffee: The Legal Side of Tutoring – What You Actually Need to Get Started
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
If I wanted to start tutoring now, what would I need to know?
The legal bit, I guess.
I think this is possibly the bit that stops people from getting started in becoming tutors in case they get it wrong or just don't do something and then they find themselves in trouble.
They are confident with working with children but the legal side of it is a whole new ball game and it seems terrifying!
So, in this podcast I chatter on about what I deem to be the most important bits and how I do it. You might embrace my ideas or ignore them. The choice is your but hopefully it will give you something to consider.
So, if you've ever thought about becoming a tutor, or you're already tutoring and would like a bit of support to grow, please do get in touch.
Whether that's a free copy of my book, our new tutor membership group, some 1:1 support, or simply a conversation about where to start, I'd be delighted to help if I can.
