Initially, a consultation will take place, often on the phone, to find out the weaker areas and strengths of the the learner.

After using a variety of analysed assessments, appropriately chosen, a specialist teacher identifies what specific intervention is required for that individual to cover gaps in their learning and formulate specific targets for the indiviual’s personal learning needs. 

These individualistic, measurable, specific, targets are delivered in small, achievable, cumulative steps using a multi-sensory teaching framework, including kinaesthetic learning, that also provides the opportunity for plenty of reinforcement activities.

Reinforcement activities are deliberately enjoyable and memorable, including the use of games to reinforce learning.   

Specialist teaching provides the opportunity for frequent, specific praise in the success of these achievable targets, leading to a learner’s increased self-esteem and self-confidence. 

A specialist teacher identifies a learner’s strengths and develops these throughout their intervention, ensuring that the learner achieves success.

The specialist teacher acts as a facilitator and a communicator, building a partnership with the learner.
