How we teach
A question is
a good beginning.
At Lemmawick, a tutor sits alongside the student. We look at the work together, try an approach, and give the student room to explain it back.
The first 45 minutes.
The first session and assessment costs $35. It is a working introduction, with short activities to see where the student is comfortable and where a little help would be useful.
It is not a formal diagnostic evaluation. You leave with a suggested starting point and can choose whether to book another session.
First, listen.
About 10 minutes for the student’s question, a parent’s observations and a look at a recent assignment.
Then, try a little work.
About 25 minutes of short reading, writing or math activities in the chosen subject. We ask the student to talk through their thinking.
Choose the next step.
About 10 minutes to share what we noticed, set a small goal and suggest practice. No package is required.
Help that leaves the pencil in their hand.
We can use schoolwork to see what needs practice, but the student does the writing and problem-solving. Each regular session ends with a short recap and a useful next task.
