With over 18 years experience I can help you

This program is designed for anyone over 8 years old who struggles with reading, (hand-) writing, letter confusion, spelling, comprehension, focus, co-ordination (dyspraxia) and auditory challenges. This program is typically 30 hours in duration but is dependant on the needs of the individual 

For many children maths presents a very real challenge. Own hands on approach to Maths provides a step by step approach to Maths. the areas covered include: reading numerals, counting, adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, place value and fractions, word problems, telling the time, using a calendar, sequencing and logic. This program is a very comprehensive program and follows their needs of the individual. In general this will take up to 40 hours.

 For those children and adults who struggle with focus, difficulties staying on task, sitting still, listening, maintaining positive relationships, tendency to excessive daydreaming (zoning out), impulsivity, behavioural challenges and difficulty with organising self and 'order'. This drug free approach helps those with ADD / ADHD to control their energy levels, focus and listen (and make sense and follow) instructions. It effectively addresses behavioural patterns which are negatively affecting their lives and relationships and literacy.

It teaches life long skills 

This is an enhancement programme for children aged 5-8years of age that would benefit from gaining skills in regards to reading, writing, and learning how to focus. This is not a dyslexia correction programme but will give the child lifelong skills to make learning more successful and develop reading fluency and comprehension. This intervention is a clay-based method, which the parent and Anne Marie work together to prevent the onset of confusion around symbols of literacy which may lead to Dyslexia later. Due to this format, this intervention does not usually follow the week-long model of the other programs. 

At least half of the programme time will also include the parent or support person participating in helping the child 

 with new skills and techniques. 

Step 1

The first step in booking a young learners program is  an initial consultation with the client and a parent. 

Step 2 

After consultation, a programme will be designed to suit your child's needs. All programmes are 1:1 .

I have found over the years that from time to time many children require help in the area of Maths. Many of these do not have a maths difficulty as such but just need a better foundation in order to flourish in the area of Maths. So on Friday afternoons we have a maths club for children who are in sixth class to give them a good foundation for secondary school.

There is a further Maths class commencing for children between the ages of 8 and 10 who also require a little extra help.

Individual Maths tuition is also available for children and adults.

Inspired by the wonderful poetry of the children who wrote poems for the December poetry competition I am also starting a monthly ENGLISH LITERATURE CLUB. Keep an eye out for details
