OUR MISSION — BACK 2 BASICS
How I Can Help

Our Services

From core school subjects to specialist coaching, every learner is different — which is why each service is built around your child's individual profile.

School Subjects

Personalised lessons in Maths, English, Science, History and more — for every learner, from those who just want extra support to those working toward top marks.

ADHD Support & Coaching

Structured, engaging sessions with short focused work blocks, movement breaks, and consistent routines — plus dedicated ADHD coaching for attention span and self-regulation.

Dyslexia Support

Multi-sensory, structured literacy teaching that breaks reading and spelling into clear, sequential steps at a pace that suits your child.

Dyscalculia Support

Concrete, visual, and hands-on approaches to number sense and mathematical reasoning that build genuine understanding, not rote memorising.

Educational Consulting

Independent guidance for parents navigating school choice, curriculum decisions, assessments, and learning support planning.

Homeschool Support

A structured, curriculum-aligned homeschool programme delivered live online — the rigour of a full teaching programme, without losing flexibility.

Executive Function Coaching

Practical coaching in planning, organisation, time management, and study skills — the behind-the-scenes skills that make every subject easier.

How I Teach

Our Teaching Approach

Four principles guide every lesson, every plan, and every conversation with parents.

01

Personalised Learning

No two learners are alike, so no two learning plans should be either.

02

Positive Reinforcement

Confidence grows fastest where effort is noticed and progress is celebrated.

03

Growth Mindset

Ability is built, not fixed — mistakes are part of learning, not something to fear.

04

Parent Partnership

Parents are partners, not bystanders, with regular, honest communication.

Thank you Monique. I can see that Adnan is improving in Maths. Adnan has an attention issue, and the repetitive method you designed for him is truly helping him. He dislikes learning Maths but not with you.
