Hi Everyone,
Thank you for your patience whilst I am recovering from my knee surgery. This coming week I am easing back into work with some on-line sessions and at the end of the week I’m doing a couple of local lessons. See you all soon, Gaynor.
Mine and Sarah’s lectures reviews on lectures delivered at this year’s on-line annual PATOSS conference, plus Sarah’s published book review.
Corona-virus
Please note we are at present: due to government guidelines, not travelling to client’s houses for tuition. We are however, able to offer tuition via Skype, at a reduced price to take off travel expenses. Obviously, this form of tuition will not suit all of our clients due to the nature and style of their learning difficulties. The Skype sessions we have held for some students so far, have been a success. If you are interested please contact us by email: gaynor@teachtolearn.co.uk or sarah@teachtolearn.co.uk
Home learning
Hi everyone, hope you are all managing to keep well. Unusual and trying times at the moment. We hope home school learning is going well? If it’s not, and you feel you may require some help with lessons, please private message us, or email us and we will see whether it’s something we can help with via Skype. We will have to charge, but at a lesser rate than when we are travelling to houses for tuition. Some of our established clients are trying Skype tutorial sessions, and so far is appears to be quite successful. gaynor@teachtolearn.co.uk sarah@teachtolearn.co.uk
A lovely new review received today (3rd February 2020):“Gaynor is a fantastic tutor who is able to keep my son engaged and learning for a whole hour lesson. He loves his time with her and doesn’t even realise it’s a lesson, is it so interactive and fun. I get a full lesson plan for each lesson and detailed analysis after every lesson. I would highly recommend Gaynor to anyone looking for a tutor.”

In the next two weeks we will be asking the parents/carers of our students to sign a contract confirming your agreement to our holding personal information on your child and family, whilst they are a student of Teach To Learn. This information will be stored securely, electronically and as hard copies. You will also be asked to tick a box confirming what you would like to have done with the hard copies of information when your child is no longer a student of Teach To Learn. i.e. whether you would like it destroyed -shredded, or returned to you. Electronic files will be deleted.
Teach To Learn will not use personal information for marketing. Teach To Learn may use photographs of your child’s work for marketing, but all identifying features will be excluded.
Thank you,

Hi to all our students and parents/carers,
Teach To learn is going from strength to strength, and we thank you all for your positive feedback and testimonials. Due to rising costs, from 1st September 2018 we will be charging £80 for Personalised Learning Plans for all students. Teach To Learn has been running for almost two years and this is the first rise in fees that has been implemented. For now, the hourly rate of £25 will not change at present. We will review the hourly rate in the Autumn term.
Also, just to remind clients, that there is a 45p a mile travel expenses charge for over 10 miles travel from our base to your home/place of tuition. You will see maps showing the radius of 10 miles from our homes on our ‘What are our charges’ page.
Thank you for your support,
Gaynor and Sarah
