Welcome to the first Clara James podcast, aimed at helping you support children's learning. Whether they're yours or not, as a tutor, a parent, or teacher, we'll discuss adapting resources for better accessibility.
Years ago in math class, I struggled with something we were learning until my dad used apples and scales to explain it. That personal approach made all the difference. Recognizing that each child is unique—whether they have ADHD, autism, or other challenges—it's crucial to tailor our methods accordingly.
I began my career in childcare over two decades ago while raising three young kids. Starting as a volunteer led me to various roles and eventually tutoring—a profession I've grown to love because of its creative potential.
In teaching, using diverse activities instead of repetitive worksheets helps create stronger memories for students. Games like Bingo or Tic Tac Toe can make learning times tables engaging and enjoyable.
Our philosophy is simple: teach in ways that resonate with children. The podcast shares strategies you might adapt for your own use—after all, effective teaching often means changing our explanations rather than expecting kids to change how they learn.
Join us on this journey through the Clara James podcast as we explore supportive techniques from reception up through secondary school. Thank you for tuning in!
