Multi-sensory Private Tuition
Excelr8 Learning teachers are professionals, experienced at working with children who have a variety of Special Educational Needs. Many children with SEN have low self-esteem and low self-confidence and they may be used to failing. It is important to help change this cycle of failure. It is through enabling children to experience success that children build their confidence, step by step. So at Excelr8 Learning we strive to ensure children's self-belief is restored and they enjoy their studies once more.
To enable this to happen, we provide a multi-sensory approach that combines visual (seeing words and pictures), auditory (listening and saying aloud), kinaesthetic (doing actions) and tactice (touch) learning - so for example: see the word, say the word and write it down. Additionally we employ a variety of strategies and keep reinforcing concepts again and again. We make it fun. We use the little and often approach so as not to overload students.
Dyslexia and Dyspraxia
Dyslexia can cause problems with memory, sequencing and concentration. It can affect spelling, writing, reading, personal organisation, listening and sometimes maths. Dyslexic students often have skills in other areas such as design, drama, music and art. They may also have excellent verbal skills but have trouble getting their ideas down on paper.
Dyspraxia usually affects coordination and students may have problems with getting themselves organised, perhaps putting shoes on the wrong feet or putting clothes on backwards. Dyspraxia may show itself in the organising of ideas for writing where sentences may be muddled and paragraphs may be confused. Also, students may not know where to put full stops, may miss out spaces between words and may not start at the correct place on a page.
