The Teacher to Tutor Toolkit was created by me! As an ex-teacher who left the profession and started her own tutoring business, I regularly had/have questions about to do the initial stages of setting up a business. Thus was born this toolkit, featuring all the advice, tips and tricks I could put together in one document! Included in the toolkit are eleven pages, plus a blank tutoring contract which is worth its weight in GOLD! When you have purchased, be sure to drop me an email at katehepplewhitetutoring@hotmail.com, so I can firstly say a big thank you, but also to send you the link to my YouTube video tutorial, all about setting up your own Facebook business page!

Make learning about word problems more engaging with this board game! Children move around the board game. When they land on a calculation, they must find the corresponding word problem card, then solve it. This challenges not only their word problem knowledge but ensures they know how to choose the correct operation. Questions aimed mainly at LKS2 calculation level. This resource is Autumn themed. Resource includes the board game and cards for download. Laminate them to use again year on year!

Perfect activity to fill a short gap of time in the first few weeks back. A simple activity that can be completed independently whilst you complete important first-week-back jobs. Also an opportunity to look at children’s handwriting and learn a little more about them.

Are you looking for high-quality, GL style practice papers to help your students/children succeed in their exams? Written by an 11+ tutor of over 3 years (and a teacher of 5 years before that) these GL style practice papers are designed to help children improve reading comprehension and SPaG skills from the very beginning of their tuition journey. One of the biggest barriers I have found when tutoring the 11+ is that the vast majority of practise papers available are on par with the difficulty of the exam; for children just beginning their journey, these are often very difficult to access and can be demoralising for them. I have designed these papers to be challenging, but still accessible to children particularly in the first half of their 11+ tuition journey. Here’s what you can expect from my papers: Quality, interesting comprehension texts which move with the seasons, providing context and relevance to the reader. Line indicators on texts, as per standard GL examinations. 20 multiple choice comprehension questions - 5 possible answers for each. Specific spelling, punctuation and grammar questions, with a “identify the mistake” concept. Layout reflects that of the GL style examinations, ensuring early familiarisation. Full answer sheet with similar format to the examinations, ensuring early familiarisation. Answers included, with explanations if necessary. Enhance your child’s/student’s examination prep experience with these practise papers!
