My Requirements

Aura is a bright, curious and energetic four-year-old with a strong interest in science, discovery, nature and understanding how the world works. He learns through observation, experimentation and cause-and-effect experiences and is naturally drawn to investigating how things function.

One of Aura's strongest interests is food, fruit, seeds, growth and life cycles. He is fascinated by how things grow, ripen, change, decay and regenerate. He enjoys collecting seeds, comparing fruits, exploring textures and observing changes in the natural world. He also has a particular interest in magnets, motion, movement and mechanical cause and effect. He frequently asks questions about why things happen and enjoys learning through practical exploration.

Aura is active, inquisitive and enjoys outdoor activities, sport and hands-on learning experiences. He responds best to engaging, interactive teaching that combines structure with creativity.

Whilst Aura attends nursery and is settling well, I have chosen to defer his Reception entry so that he begins school at five rather than four. This is a personal educational decision rather than one driven by any developmental concerns. I would like to use this additional year intentionally to strengthen his foundations, accelerate his learning and ensure he is confident, capable and well-prepared for Reception at an independent school.

As his parent, I find that learning at home often naturally turns into play, so I am looking for a tutor who can establish a positive educational relationship and create a clear distinction between play time and learning time.
