What parents say...

“Also can I just say a massive thank you too, Ellie was a bit apprehensive before her first session but when she came home last week she was absolutely buzzing, she loved her time spent there and felt so much happier even after just one session. So thank you, she has been so worried about her exams especially English.”
"Thank You."
“Joshua got his GCSE results today and I just wanted to let you know how he got on. He got an 8 in English Language and a 7 in English Literature, he has always struggled with English and wouldn’t of been able to achieve these amazing grades without yours and Adam’s help, if you could please let him know how Joshua done. So once again thank you for all the work you did with him.” Emily (parent) 2021

“Dear Howard Thank you so much for all these lessons you’ve been giving me!  They really have improved my work at school and now I can put all your help to good use with my SATs.  Thank you so much for everything! From Lewis”
Lewis (student)
At the time of writing this testimonial, my daughter has had only 5 sessions and her confidence and ability has increased significantly!  (Now) she talks of enjoying maths and of her abilities in maths instead of her inabilities, participates more in maths lessons at school and is keen to do her maths homework, both from school and from the sessions.  As a parent I am thrilled that her confidence has grown significantly and would recommend I Love to Learn without hesitation.

Alex says ” I learned more in three months than my whole time in the maths classroom at school. I went from dreading it to feeling much better about being there.” This Summer he was overjoyed to find that he had gone from a Grade 2 in his mocks up to a Grade 4 (C) pass in his final exam.

I was told at school that Harrison had fallen about 2 years behind in reading, writing and spelling. Harrison took to it straight away.  He has made fantastic progress and is meeting all his targets.  He loves the points and prizes that he collects for working so he comes out buzzing after every session!

Fun Spelling Rules

Making Spelling Fun

One of the ways we can help students with their English is by having some fun with some commonly misspelt words. In many exams marks are allocated for spelling, it also builds confidence to know that you have spelt a word correctly without resorting to spellchecker.

I had a rather eccentric school English teacher who believed that if you could spell ACCOMMODATION (two C’s and two M’s) you would pass your O level and he made the whole class recite it most lessons.

spellingAlternatively you could just test each other over a meal or on the way to school, we all love a challenge and the rules mean ‘no phones’.

Here are a few you might want to test each other on:

SEPARATE is a tricky word, two A’s separated by a P.

Big Elephants Are Usually BEAUtiful.

I before E except after C applies to BELIEVE, FRIEND and RECEIVE.

You can DEFINITELY find the word with FINITE in it.

Do you go Really Red And Smile Shyly when EMBARRASSed?

You certainly do if you are caught short with DIARRHOEA, you need to Dash In A Real Rush, Hurry Or Else Accident.

You can even put some words to music as RHYTHM Helps You To Hear Music.

Give it a go, no need for a special OCCASION (although if it is you’ll need to travel over two seas (C’s) to get to it.

To enhance students’ spelling, incorporate fun practices with tricky words, as exam scores often include spelling accuracy, boosting confidence without spellcheck reliance. An eccentric English teacher swore mastery of “ACCOMMODATION” ensured exam success. Engage in spelling challenges during meals or commutes without phones. Practice words like “SEPARATE,” with mnemonic aids like “Big Elephants Are Usually BEAUtiful” for “BEAUTIFUL,” and the rule “I before E except after C” for words like “BELIEVE.” Reminder mnemonics for “EMBARRASSED” and “DIARRHOEA” can assist recall, as can setting words like “RHYTHM” to music. Use these techniques anytime, not just for special occasions.
