When to have Study Skills Tuition
Sometimes pupils need an extra boost to
help them with their studies. This may help them to discover more about the
way they learn and strategies that can be put in place to support their
difficulties.
Our Specialist Teachers understand that each pupil
is different. Using a young person’s strengths and their approach to learning, she/he will create an individual programme of study skills to support your child’s particular areas of need. This might cover reading and writing skills, time management, using assistive technology, revision strategies and exam technique.
Study Skills Tuition can be for a short
period of time or for longer should your child need it.
Where do sessions take place?
Tuition can take place online, at the Specialist Teacher’s home, or at the Helen Arkell Dyslexia Charity in Farnham. It may be possible to arrange for sessions to take place in your home.
Many schools welcome
Helen Arkell Specialist Teachers and tuition takes place at school. This has to
be arranged with the school by parents/guardians.
When?
The day and time of lessons is arranged between the Specialist
Teacher and parents/guardians.
You will receive a report at the end of each term, which
gives a valuable insight into your child’s progress.
Fee
Study skills tuition costs £66 an hour. Sessions can be 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 60 minutes and fees will be adjusted accordingly.
A proportion of the fee
that you pay helps us to provide subsidised tuition to lower-income families.
This means nobody is excluded from getting the help they need. Thank you very
much for your help and support. Please note that when making an enquiry, there is the option for anyone to request bursary support.
