🎉SUMMER BUNDLE - 10% OFF TUTORING🎉

Summer holidays are a well-deserved break, but the long gap can be incredibly challenging for children—especially those with Special Educational Needs (SEN).

The disruption to routine and the "summer slide" can mean starting the new school year a few steps backward.

That’s why TforTeacher is launching our Summer Bundle to keep your child supported, confident, and ahead of the curve! 🚀

📚 Why Choose the Summer Bundle?

Keep Learning on the Boil: Regular, low-stress engagement ensures hard-earned skills from the past year aren't lost.

Maintain Structure & Routine: We provide that vital sense of predictability that helps SEN children thrive.

Pre-Teach for Next Year: We introduce upcoming concepts early, massively boosting their confidence before they even step foot in their new classroom.

The Perfect Opportunity to Catch Up: When everyone else stands still, this is your child's moment to bridge the gaps and build a solid foundation.

🎉 Exclusive Summer Offer 🎉

We want to make this transition as smooth as possible for your family. Book the Summer Bundle now and get 10% OFF all lessons this summer!

Phonics detectives at work!

Our learners have been exploring the different ways the long /a/ sound can be represented in words. By hunting for ai, ay and a-e spellings in sentences, they're strengthening their phonics knowledge and building confidence as readers.

It's wonderful to see children applying their learning independently and spotting patterns in real texts!

Is your child stuck on counting? 🧩✨

"They can count to 10, but they get totally stuck at 29, 39, or 49!"

If this sounds familiar, you aren't alone. Many children can easily memorise the sequence of numbers by rote. But for children with dyslexia, dyscalculia, or working memory difficulties, relying on memory alone isn't enough. No matter how many times you feel you've practised, they hit a wall at the "bridging" points—what happens right after a number ending in 9.
At TforTeacher, we change the game by focusing on understanding rather than memorising. Here is how we do it:

⭐ 1. Teach the concept, not the rule: We break counting into tiny steps and explicitly teach the "bridge" to the next 10. We use whiteboard practice paired with fun, chanted chorus scripts like "After the tens come the twenties!" to build a rhythm they can lean on.

⭐ 2. Use a multisensory approach: When children can visualise the maths, they can remember it! We use physical Base 10 apparatus (tens and ones) so they can literally feel and see the numbers grow. If we have 9 individual ones and want to keep counting, we run out of blocks! We have to reach for a 10 rod. Doing this physically over and over builds a permanent mental image of how numbers change.

⭐ 3. Map out the patterns: We love making our own 99-squares with our students! Building it from scratch highlights the patterns and explicitly flags the number 9 as a visual "cue" or hook that tells the learner: Change is coming, time for the next 10!

🚀 Our Top Tip: Don't stop at 100! Even though school curriculums in the early years look mostly at numbers up to 100, stopping right there can make children think 100 is the biggest number in the world. Show them a glimpse of what lies beyond to keep their maths horizons wide open!
