Why we started offering online lessons as well in person lessons
from The Clara James Approach to learning · host Dawn Strachan
When I first started the tutoring business in 2012 I was very opinionated that every lesson should take place in the comfort of the child's home. They would be in an environment where they felt comfortable and it would make life easier for the family. We could make the lessons interactive and use a wide variety of resources.Then we went into lockdown.I had 2 choices, either let the business, that I had spent the past 8 years working hard to build go, or adapt and embrace online lessons and try something new.Really there wasn't a choice, and now we can offer online and in person lessons and it works. We can still put the child's needs at the centre of the lesson, we can still be creative with the content (just in a different way) and we can still make a huge difference to the children that we work with.
