Our Homeschooling Curriculum
At Larch Tuition, our mission is to cultivate a love for the written word and empower young learners to become skilled, imaginative writers. Our carefully designed curriculum is driven by high-quality texts that explore a rich tapestry of writing genres, ranging from narrative and descriptive writing to persuasive letters and poetry. This diversity equips students with a versatile set of writing skills, enabling them to confidently express themselves across a wide range of contexts.
Aligned with the structure of a traditional school setting, our curriculum is thoughtfully designed to build upon previous lessons. Each session is carefully structured to provide a scaffolded learning experience and opportunities for independent exploration, thus encouraging autonomy in our students. Self-directed activities are thoughtfully planned to complement in-session learning, encouraging students to practice and apply what they have learned, reinforcing their comprehension of key concepts.
We recognise that every child is unique, and our individualised approach guarantees that each child receives the tailored support they require to thrive. We work closely with families to gain insights into each child's unique needs and next steps. Using formative assessment to continually assess student progress enables us to adapt our instruction to address specific areas of growth, ensuring that each child's educational journey remains personalised and effective.
Our approach is both creative and engaging, distinct from the typical worksheet-based tutoring. We firmly believe that learning should be an exciting voyage of exploration and discovery. Through our curriculum, we strive to instil in students not only the knowledge and skills they need but also an unstoppable passion for learning.
At Larch Tuition, we are not just educators; we are mentors, guides, and champions on your child's educational journey. Our commitment is to help your child thrive as a confident, creative, and accomplished writer.
Our Milestone-Based Educational Approach
At Larch Tuition, our teaching approach is rooted in a milestone-based framework, providing a customised educational experience for every child. Our milestones are designed to cater to different learning stages. We understand that each child's learning journey is unique, and we assess their writing skills based on alignment with the National Curriculum rather than predefined year groups. This approach allows us to effectively address each child's specific writing needs, irrespective of their year level.
Our lessons are thoughtfully designed to align with these milestones, offering a tailored and adaptable educational experience. Children undergo a pre-assessment, providing us with a comprehensive understanding of their individual requirements. Our milestone-based approach enables us to provide targeted and effective guidance, nurturing the growth and achievement of each child's writing skills.
