Holistic Tuition for Infant School Children
It is heartbreaking to send a child to school when you know they are struggling, and perhaps are not able to access the kind of support they really need in a busy classroom. Intervening early when they are finding the classroom challenging can change their feelings about school for the long haul.
Holistic tuition for infant school children (aged 3-7) is designed to help children to build the skills and confidence they need to be able to engage with school in a way that feels good for them, and you. It takes a broad view of your child's wellbeing (see examples of areas covered below), and support will be completely personalised to suit your child.
In person support (after an initial virtual session with parents/carers) is available at your home within Bromley (South London/Kent) and surrounding areas. This service is aimed at children in Early Years (Nursery - Reception) or Key Stage One (Yr 1 - Yr 2), though if you have an older primary aged child you feel would benefit from work at this level do drop me a line - I am certainly happy to discuss possibilities.
As an ex-teacher turned health coach, I take a truly holistic approach to providing support and tuition for infant school children and their families. I combine expertise in both primary education and an integrative approach to wellbeing, to help your family take an honest look at the big picture of what the challenges are, and hone in on where some extra focus and skill development might have the biggest impact.
Having trained as an Early Years specialist, and then spent the full decade of my career in education between Nursery, Reception and Year One, I know full well how critical those initial years are in laying the foundation of a child's educational experience. I also know how tough it can be from a parent perspective when they are struggling.
Gently exploring challenging areas in the safe, supported environment of their own home can have a huge impact on the development of your child's beliefs about themselves as a learner. Which then has the potential to dramatically grow their confidence in the classroom. Wouldn't that be a relief?!

What does the process of holistic tuition look like?
My holistic tuition process begins with an online Signposting session*, which is for parent(s)/carer(s) only. This is an opportunity to dig in to what you are hoping to gain from tuition. It will include discussion of the main challenges your child is facing as you see them, as well as getting to know a little about their strengths, interests, and personality.
*This initial online session is required before follow-up in person sessions can be booked.
We would then follow on with 30-minute Support sessions, usually weekly, tailored to meet your child's needs. Familiar adults are welcome to participate, or simply observe. It is often important, particularly in the early stages, to help your child to feel safe. It can also provide a useful opportunity for you to see how your child responds, and what approaches seem to work best for them.
I am happy to answer any questions not answered here, and explore how this service might support you and your child. Click below to book a free 30-minute online Kids Sparkle at School ✨ consult. I'd love to meet you!
