Would you like some online schooling support?

If you are finding it hard to motivate your child(ren) with home learning, I can help with Zoom learning. I am a primary school teacher, know the curriculum from R to yr 6 and can encourage your children to achieve their potential in fun and interesting ways. Please PM me if interested.

Thank you everyone who has responded. Now we know that schools are closing on Friday, please PM me with your email addresses and ages of your children. I am working tomorrow and Friday, but will be making arrangements to move this forward.

After discussing this with my own children (aged 15 and 18) who will also be off school, I can provide 3 full days of tutoring and childcare per week that school is closed. My suggested days are Tuesdays, Wednesday and Thursdays, operating from 9am til 4pm. However,both days and hours are flexible depending on the mix and family needs.

One of my children will help me on each day which will enable a wider age group or range of activities, which will be planned with me.

I look forward to meeting your children and working with them.

I saw your post and wondered if this would be allowed if childminders aren?t allowed to function as well. Social distancing doesn?t work this way. You would be putting the health of your own family and the students families at risk.

The forum has posted an article about social distancing above. It might be helpful to read this too for parents and anyone thinking about offering childcare services. This is going to be a challenging time for everyone.

I know there are lots of online tutoring groups that are already set up or starting, perhaps that would be the safer option for the students, your family, and the rest of the community.

Thank you Sand12. Although childminders are included in the schools closure, tutors and nannies are not.

The service that I would be providing will be for a few children and will be a mix of tutoring and nannying, so it is not covered. It will also only be for a few days a week.

Just to update, since the full lock down came into force, I can no longer offer this service. I can, however, provide online tutoring or advice if you need it. Thanks.
