🌟 What I Hope Makes These Sessions Different For Our Children

When the system didn’t work for my children I started creating what I couldn’t find.

I know I’m not the only one. That’s why I built this, for those of us raising, guiding or learning alongside our children who need something different.

These sessions aren’t just worksheets.

They’re part of a bigger vision: a calm, creative, emotionally aware way to learn designed for our children and for us as the people supporting them.

I’ve created detailed frameworks to guide every session. They’ve been co-designed with AI to help make this more accessible, and while I know AI isn’t perfect, every single session has been shaped with care, experience and the best tools I could build with the resources available.

When private school, tutors or extra support aren’t an option, this is my offering: something we can use, adapt, and grow with together.

These sessions are the guide I needed and maybe you do to?

✨ I’m not promising perfection. I’m not a big company. but I’ve poured my heart into building a system I wish we’d had from the start. These sessions are the guide I needed and maybe you do too?
They won’t be perfect, but they’ve been built with love, experience, and a deep belief that our children deserve more than just survival.
They deserve to learn, grow, and feel proud of themselves along the way.
If this helps your teen feel more capable , or helps you feel less alone, then it’s doing its job.

a little bit of my structure

🎨 The CREATE Approach Framework

Every session follows a process I call CREATE — a flexible, brain-friendly way to help our children learn in a way that sticks.

Curiosity – Start with wonder or a big picture question
Research – Explore using videos, diagrams, or prompts
Experiment/Quiz – Try it out, test understanding
Apply – Make it meaningful: real life or exam-style questions
Think Differently – Learn through metaphors, drawing, or visual task
Evolve – Reflect, review, and grow

🌀 Each task offers an Energy Saver version for low-energy days and a Soulful Spiral for deeper or more creative flow — so our children can meet the learning where they’re at.

🧠 Bloom’s Thinking Skills (Gently Built In)

The sessions include Bloom’s Taxonomy thinking levels — so our children grow from remembering, to analysing, to creating. It’s all done gently, with sentence starters and supports to build confidence step by step.

💛 Trauma-Aware + Neurodivergent-Friendly by Design

I’ve written these sessions as if I were sitting next to a young person who has struggled with anxiety, shame, masking or just not fitting the mould.

That means the sessions are:

Calm, non-pressurising, and emotionally safe
Free from “teacher voice” or shame-based language
Neurodivergent friendly in structure
Written to support independence without isolation

🧩 Revision That Works (Without the Stress)

I’ve embedded revision into every part of the session , so it doesn’t feel like an extra chore.

You’ll find:

Retrieval practice
Visual and kinaesthetic memory tools
Confidence tracking
Self-assessment strategies based on real exam skills

🌱 Reflection + Progress That Feels Good

Each session begins with a check-in:
“What do I already know?”
And ends with reflection:
“What’s changed for me?”

Because progress isn’t just about content — it’s about how our children feel while they’re learning.
