FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Are all of your lessons one to one

Do you offer group lessons?

October 02, 20241 min read

On the whole the answer would be 'no' because each of us is so different. We generally find that one child may be more confident in one thing, other children will be more confident in other areas. But if a child is already lacking confidence and they are once again presented with a friend, sibling, peer that is better than them, it can reinforce that idea that everyone else is better than them. That they can't do it. They're stupid.

Also, we often learn differently so whilst 1 thing may work for you, for the other child, something entirely different would be more productive so the time spent isn't as effective as it should be.

You may choose to split the time and do half and half with each sibling, or alternate the weeks. However, group lessons are definitely not something we would advocate for.

Note: We are increasing the number of workshops that we are providing which would be presented for group work. If this is something you might be interested in, please do get in touch: [email protected]

For the past 20+ years I have been a firm believer that learning should be an enjoyable experience. I appreciate that traditionally education has revolved around worksheets, textbooks, listening to teachers. But a grounding in early years and working with children who had a variety of learning styles from I learned that it is an individual activity that is personal to all of us. We don’t all learn in the same way. Our influences, our experiences, our capabilities all influence how we retain information. But through it all, I believe that if we can make it enjoyable and engaging, they will want to participate. With participation comes practice which in turn boosts skill and confidence. With an increase in skill and confidence comes a willingness to have a go. This in turn leads to more practice which leads to a positive spiral of success. The moral, we need to make learning fun, engaging, use a range of techniques.
