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, English and Sciences.

Specialist teachers 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 Specialist Teachers who work with us are qualified to teach children identified with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyspraxia, ADHD and dyscalculia

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

  • Many of the Specialist Teachers have been working have over 30 years experience

  • All Specialist Teachers are DBS checked, have safeguarding certificates and public liability insurance

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

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

  • Specialist support is also offered during the school day at schools across North London (subject to school permission)

  • 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 typically 1 hour in duration, depending on each child’s needs

  • Holiday tuition sessions can be offered for overseas students and those who wish to focus on a particular area of concern, e.g. handwriting, study skills, reading comprehension

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
