Are you looking for things to do to entertain your child this summer?

When my 3 were young I used to love spending time with them, painting, gluing, going for walks, playing in the sand pit. Every day seemed to be a day to create a memory and be savoured.

When my oldest daughter was young, she came across as being very clever and astute when you spoke to her, but when you saw her written work, you would think it had been produced by a completely different child. She could spell the same word 2 or 3 different ways on the same page and not notice a difference between any of them.

I asked her school if they agreed that she might be dyslexic. They instantly dismissed dyslexia as an excuse for laziness.

I did not have the confidence to push my point further so I decided to do everything I could to help her myself.

Over the coming years I learned everything I could about different, learning styles and learning difficulties. I completed a degree in childcare and education and worked in numerous educational settings.

In 2012 I started a tutoring business. Everything I had learned up to this point influenced how I presented it. Everything I had learned told me that for learning to be effective it had to be inspiring, motivating, interactive. The child needed to be relaxed, feel confident and enjoy the experience. So those were the foundations I used.

Those were the principles that made us so different from so many other tutors. These experiences and influences were what have led us to be nominated for several national business awards and help numerous children learn both confidence and knowledge in maths, English, and the 11+.

But it was as a parent and a childminder before I became a tutor that I found enjoyment in thinking of ideas of things we could do. One idea would lead to the next, but always on a small budget.

These were some of my happiest years.

In this course you will get access to:

The actual course itself, full of techniques and inspiration to help you think of ideas to create a beach scene whilst incorporating maths, English, creativity and enjoyment.

A workbook to support you whilst working through the course.

You can also get in touch and ask for help directly through the Q&A facility. I will promise to always do my best to advise you.

Here’s to your quality time with your children!

Warm wishes

Dawn

PS. Here are a few things people have said about me:

Dawn is a dedicated and hard-working person who is willing to help everybody that comes to her with questions or concerns regarding tutoring. I know this, not merely from the video (which has helped me tremendously with my profile on Outschool), but from interactions with her. Her videos are wonderful and I would recommend that you watch them if you are looking to start a tutoring business like me. Overall, wonderful video!!!!!!

Having worked in education for 16 years as a teacher, lecturer, course tutor and educational consultant working with some customers of major notoriety I met Dawn. I really value the work that Dawn is doing with Clara James Tutoring. She has a unique and creative approach that surpasses any work that any franchise on the market is doing. I am impressed and I know from my experience that this approach will work with a large number of learners. I recommend Clara James Tutoring to others.

These ideas are very creative. They encourage our son and keep him focused. LPG

Dawn was fantastic with my son. She gave him so much confidence with his maths leading to him passing his GCSE’s with flying colours. Very pleased we found her and would recommend her 100% to anyone else.
