Specialist Intervention Lessons

It's easy for an individual child to get lost in a traditional classroom setting, where class sizes can sometimes exceed 30 children. For that reason, we work on a one-to-one basis to provide specialist intervention in Maths and English. Specialist tutors work to the student’s learning strengths in order to provide techniques so that they can successfully access the curriculum.

Individual Tuition Tailored To Each Child’s Needs

  • All our Specialist Teachers are qualified to teach children identified with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, ADHD and dyscalculia

  • Our Specialist Teachers all have their OCR Level 5 specialist certificates, or equivalent Masters in Special Needs, as well as many years of teaching experience

  • Many of our Specialist Teachers have been working with us for over 25 years

  • One-to-one lessons are either carried out at the Specialist Teacher’s homes, at The Hampstead Dyslexia Clinic or online, over Zoom

  • There is always a one-off trial lesson and this helps the student, the parent and the specialist build an initial rapport and to make sure all parties are happy to continue moving forward

  • Thereafter, lessons are usually during term time on a weekly basis, after school or at the weekend

  • Lessons are either 45 mins or 1 hour in duration, depending on each child’s needs

  • Specialist support is also offered during the school day at schools across North London, or at The Hampstead Dyslexia Clinic in Finchley (timetables permitting)

  • We also offer holiday tuition sessions for overseas students and those who wish to focus on a particular area of concern, e.g. handwriting

  • Lessons can be in Maths, English, Study & Revision Skills, Handwriting or Touch-Typing

We provide fun specialist lessons that foster a love for learning

  • In English we use a host of resources, games, computer programmes, including the Alpha to Omega system of teaching, in order to engage the student

  • Our multi-sensory teaching system uses visual, oral, tactile and kinaesthetic strategies to incorporate all learning styles

  • In Maths we use computer programmes, Stern's Structural Arithmetic System, Numicon and games and activities

“It’s been fantastic for us. Laura was such a wonderful tutor. She was engaging, calm and encouraging. She kept our son interested and focused, without any stress. I would highly recommend them..”
