"The goal of our education system should be to prepare our children for a future which is uncertain" - this, along with the focus on mental health, is Emma's lasting message and the rallying cry for her book A Creative Primary Curriculum for All.This book advocates for a new model for education in the classroom and the importance of making connections across & between subjects, rather than teaching subjects independently of one another.Oh and it's now selling on 4 separate continents ...In Ludo's penultimate episode as Host of this podcast, he discusses the meaning of 'creativity' and what all educators, not just classroom teachers, can understand about their choices with the curriculum.As Dawn Woods recently wrote in The School Librarian journal, "At this moment in time, this book is very much needed".We agree.***Thank you to episode sponsors and high-quality tutoring agency, Newman Tuition.

Holding all these roles has not been an easy task for Meera Vasudeva. But far from preventing her from flourishing in any of them, the collated learning has allowed Meera to understand, with precise detail, what makes a good educator.In her first podcast appearance (of many, we assume), Meera provides ample insights into the life and work of a teacher, head of department and examiner and what skills and knowledge this has given her in understanding students.Towards the end, Meera also answers Ludo's tough question: Do schools need tutors?  We think this is one section you, dear listeners, cannot miss. ***Thank you to episode sponsors and high-quality tutoring agency, The Tutor Index.

One of the most enlightening conversations we've ever had here on the Qualified Tutor Podcast, from two individuals who know Tourette's as well as anyone else.Lucy Toghill is Tom's mum, and has been a SEND teacher for over 15 years. Now, for the past 5 years, she's also been Education Manager at Tourettes Action: the leading support and research charity for people with Tourette's and their families.Thomas Toghill, Lucy's 16-year-old son, was diagnosed with Tourette's about 10 years ago (first realising the condition in him during the first Lego movie of all places) and has a wonderful tale to tell that will greatly help educators, parents and fellow students understand this condition and be able to support it best.Thank you to the inimitable Jack Simmonds for hosting this one, and to Kayleigh Rapson for putting us in touch with the Toghills

Over the past year, here in the UK, there have been some fundamental changes in legislation around tutoring and the structure of agencies. Leading the way in support for the industry has been Law Hound, one half of which is the wonderful Steph Barber.Law Hound was set up by Steph and co-founder Sue Edwards in 2009 and since then, has built a wide-ranging practice that supports small businesses in their growth.When the legislation changes came through in 2021, Steph and Sue found themselves in the enviable position of having built up considerable expertise in this particular area, and hundreds of tutoring agency leaders leant on them for support and guidance.Now, more important than ever, we got to speak to Steph about why she does what she does and what kind of support tutoring agencies can get from Law Hound.***Thank you to episode sponsors and high-quality tutoring agency, Newman Tuition.

Often, and for too long, the link between cutting-edge research into education and actual education in practice has been too distant, too fractured. Sarah Cottingham is here to change that.Sarah is a former Teach First teacher-turned-teacher educator, now working at the highly accomplished Ambition Institute where she designs NPQs (National Professional Qualifications). Her insights into memory and the notion of 'learning first, not teaching first', built not only her classroom teaching experience but also her work training new teachers, have been hugely influential on our thinking here at Qualified Tutor - and now we bring that to you (building on our episode with Bradley Busch, a friend and colleague of Sarah's).Next steps:Get more of these insights regularly on Twitter @overpractised and on Sarah's blog at overpractised.wordpress.comListen to her Tips for Teachers episode with Craig Barton at tipsforteachers.co.uk/sarah-cottinghamGrab a copy of the books Sarah referenced: Why Don't Students Like School? by Daniel Willingham and the In Action Series led by Tom Sherrington Join the newly launched and incredibly exciting LTC Connect: a packed calendar of events & content across our 6 Hubs: English, Maths, Science, Wellbeing, SEND and Business.

Explaining tricky concepts in simple terms is no easy task, particularly for an educator. Bradley Busch has made it his mission to do just that ... for educators.Bradley and his business partner, Edward Watson, set up InnerDrive to give practitioners the best chance possible to understand concepts such as metacognition, self-regulation, the use of questions in learning, retrieval practice, interleaving and more.Here, Bradley walks us through the research behind these areas, sprinkled with more than a dusting of pedagogical backing and first-hand experience from 20+ years in the world of psychology and learning.Coupled with this month's theme in the Love Tutoring Community, of Metacognition and Self-Regulation, this conversation is a brilliant combination of broader understanding and in-depth analysis, delivered by a master communicator.Next steps:Check out Bradley's mission at innerdrive.co.uk, in particular their hugely informative blog page at blog.innerdrive.co.ukGrab a copy of Bradley and Edward's book, The Science of LearningBook your ticket to The Teaching & Learning Summit on Saturday 11 February 2023Join the newly launched and incredibly exciting LTC Connect: a packed calendar of events & content across our 6 Hubs: English, Maths, Science, Wellbeing, SEND and Business.

Isabel De La Cruz does something very few other tutors do: financial literacy for that age-group we call teenagers. It is at this age where the crucial intersection between (lack of) knowledge and responsibility for decisions is at its most strained.On the one hand, teenagers have been given little to no more information than children about finance and banking. And yet, by this age, many have phones, some will have bank accounts and all of them should be aware of how jobs, taxes and so on work.Isabel's background is in Maths, Science and computer programming, and she began tutoring way back in 2008. Since then, her practice has grown hugely, now encompassing her own tutoring business and a Youtube channel dedicated to teaching financial concepts in a simple, informative style.If you want to learn how you can apply this knowledge to your children and students, this is the conversation for you. Framed by the understanding that financial literacy for kids is one of the growing forces in education, Isabel neatly ties in stories and tales from years gone by (agonising and amusing in equal measure) that taught her all she now knows about this area.Enjoy ...Next steps:Check out Isabel's Youtube channel at youtube.com/isabelexplainsBook yourself onto her FREE (for a short time only) Udemy course, Financial Literacy for Teens at udemy.com/course/financeforteensJoin The Qualified Tutor Podcast Group in the Qualified Tutor Community and meet fellow listeners like you!️⭐️ Enjoy the podcast?

Ian Siegel has made it his mission - here's how.As CEO of a highly successful tutoring company, Streamline Learning, Ian sees personal tuition first hand. With over 15,000 hours of tutoring under his belt, Ian has come to understand the stresses, strains and pressures that mainstream education has put on students.His newly released book, The Tutor Bible, Learning to Learn Again, sharpens our minds to the fundamental issue in the classroom system of today: the lack of focus on the student.A deeply thoughtful conversation steeped in empathy (for students) and passion (for a better future), there is a particular line that strikes a real chord: 'Like plants growing towards the sun, people grow towards affirmation'. Have a great week

In our first episode dedicated to vocabulary, we explore the intricacies of this field and central importance to education through the lens of the published works of a children's author.Sheena Ager journey to authorship came about differently to most. Sheena wrote her first book, Tangled Time, part of the Cadwaladr Quests serial, with and for her reluctant reader son when he was studying for his 11+ exams. After seeing him struggle with reading and understanding the tricky vocabulary that the exams required, Sheena decided to pen a book that allowed children to greatly increase their range of vocabulary, alongside a fascinating plotline reminiscent of some of the great works of the mythical, medieval genre.With context-specific definitions on each page and passages packed full of creative, powerful vocabulary, as well as related workbooks to go alongside, the books were, and are, a smash hit.

Melanie Brethour is an inspiration to us all. As the mother of a child recently diagnosed with dyslexia, she took the bravest step possible: to set up for helping others.Decoding Dyslexia Quebec was that next step.
