Children who want help with their school work want help NOW. They want topics being covered at school to be accessible immediately. At the same time, they are likely to have gaps in core skills that need to be filled. At MagiKats we work on the two strands simultaneously - one to give an immediate boost and the other to provide steady consolidation.The MagiKats materials are written specifically for the English National Curriculum and updated regularly.Students attend a 40 minute workshop per subject each week and take home five short pieces of homework. I am an experienced teacher, with specialist training in dyslexia, dyscalculia and speech and language difficulties. I have successfully used the MagiKats materials with students for whom English is a second language and those studying for entrance exams.Each student undergoes an initial assessment so that areas of strength and weakness are identified and then an individualised programme is devised.All this for half the cost of a private tutor!
