1 hour per week. There will be an optional homework set after each class. Often it will be to carry on the writing or reading techniques that we have learned in the lesson, however, sometimes there will be bespoke homework. If students choose to do this and then upload their work to the chat or classroom, I will be more than happy to provide them with feedback.Assessment
Children will be given immediate verbal feedback throughout the lesson and parents will receive written feedback via the classroom at the end of the session.Grading
There will be a certificate on completion of every term.Class Experience
