Not a Program
Lu does not deliver any one set program. Rather, she chooses from a range of strategies and resources to suit each learner's style and needs. For example, for a child who cannot yet identify sounds in words, Lu will use a multisensory approach, rhythm and rhyme to develop sound awareness.
For a primary school student who does not easily remember spellings, Lu will teach editing as part of the writing process as well as regular revision of spelling patterns. For a high school student who has difficulty with reading, Lu will provide reading material that is engaging or familiar to better support their comprehension while working on fluency. For maths, Lu will focus on mathematical reasoning and development of strategies that make sense to the learner.
Informal Sessions
While Lu's sessions are informal, they are focused. She thinks it is most important that learners feel relaxed, liked and competent. Sessions are either 30 or 50 minutes, provided in a warm, simple and private room in Trevallyn, Launceston.
