Tutoring Approach

I follow the National Curriculum and can access the same resources that schools use. I am interested in the method of Bansho teaching, which simply means 'chalkboard' in Japanese. Bansho is a method of engaging children through problem-solving and discussion. It builds on prior learning and links to other parts of the syllabus so that lessons are not taught in isolation. I am trained in the latest teaching methods.
