The idea behind Study Buddies

​

Over the years as a parent and teacher, I have listened to other fellow parents about the stresses homework can cause within the family unit.  As a result, I have given ideas and activities to make homework more fun, manageable and relatable for the child, allowing it to work better for everyone involved. This was particularly true during the lockdowns where parents had to become teachers themselves with home-schooling - here I showed them how to be creative and make learning more enriching and engaging.

​

Being a qualified teacher I know how to get the most out of my students and know how to work the dynamics of the room so that everyone is achieving their best.  With Study Buddies, I aim to work with children and their parents to complete homework in a nurturing environment, with the necessary scaffolding, support and resources in order for the child to gain a sense of accomplishment and take ownership of their learning.  

​

Working across the age groups, I know what the expectations are for each year group and where each child’s learning needs to go to progress further through their primary education learning journey.  I’ll share activities and games with parents, so that regular spelling and timetables practice can be continued at home throughout the week.
