Julia will contact you with a time that she will text or call you to help you to set up your computer and test that everything works okay.

Maths – KS2/3 and GCSE:
Dan is the Maths teacher, he uses the online classroom Zoom. Dan will email you instructions to join his classes.
Dan teaches general Maths topics not aimed at any one particular exam board. He will provide homework if students want it but it is not compulsory as we understand some children find homework too stressful.
Dan teaches the main topic areas that are guaranteed to be found in an exam and focuses particularly on areas students often find difficult and helps them to gain confidence in their abilities. Please note one hour of Maths a week is not usually enough for Home Educated students so it is assumed that the lessons are to supplement other Maths education. Not every aspect of each exam board syllabus will be covered. Some students opt for additional lessons nearer to exam times and Dan will try to help with areas they need extra help in. Dan uses worksheets that he makes himself. If parents need a recommendation for which text book is best these are the ones Dan would suggest.

Creative Writing:
Neil is the teacher, he uses Skype. Neil will email you instructions to join his classes. Creative writing is alternate weeks on Wednesdays. This class is only available during Coronavirus lockdown.
Course Description- The creative writing sessions will act as a writing laboratory. In these sessions we will be sharing, experimenting and commenting on our writing in a workshop format. We will be developing our writing of narrative fiction and finding our own voices as writers. These sessions will help learners to discover their own strategies to craft their talents as a writer of fiction. I will be responding as a facilitator to the unique needs of the group. Learners should expect to be writing and gathering ideas in between the sessions in order to get the most from them. Please note that these sessions will not focus on the technical skills of English such as spelling, grammar and punctuation. However, learners will understand how to structure writing with a clear beginning, middle and end. This is not an exam course. Students are welcome to continue after lockdown when we go back to face to face classes in Waltham Abbey if they are reasonably local.
