Tutoring with a difference
Absolutely 4 Kids is a tutoring, play and early learning service focusing on supporting the child to navigate learning and life.
Tutoring at Absolutely 4 Kids is not your run of the mill, ‘sit at a desk or computer and read or write style’ tutoring. Children are able to choose from a range of seating options and learning materials that they feel suits their learning best.
Both our individual and group tutoring sessions incorporate plenty of opportunities for young bodies to get moving. Sometimes we also work outside if the weather permits and the child works well outdoors.
Individual Tutoring Services
-
Support for school aged children in core subjects such as Maths and English, to develop confidence and skills to take with them into the school classroom.
-
Children will also be offered space to debrief about current challenges in the classroom or playground and support to navigate these.
-
Allowing the child to develop what is already there and comes naturally to them, rather than purely focussing on what they are lacking, which can be imposing and harmful to their confidence.
-
The learning sequence is based on the individual needs of the child as determined in the initial assessment and weekly lessons, whilst taking into account where the curriculum expects them to be.


Group Tutoring Services
-
Group Tutoring is a highly beneficial support for children as it allows for them to be supported in a number of ways. The small group environment allows for plenty of individual attention, while also providing more opportunities for play-based learning and reducing stress due to the fun, social interactions with peers.
-
Children also learn more deeply when given the opportunity to engage with others and share their understanding of what they are learning with others engaging in the same process.
-
Themed lessons will be provided for group tutoring of basic skills eg basic counting, sentence construction etc.
-
Fun and play based, with movement incorporated as well as opportunities for collaboration with the other members of the tutoring group.
-
English and Maths focus lessons based on the big ideas and main concepts across the year levels.
-
Each group will comprise of a maximum of 4 students and will be formed based on the needs of the individual students. Please call to enquire so that I may learn about your child’s needs. This allows me to be able to place them in a group appropriate to their development, skill level and areas requiring support.
