Reading Skills

  • Reading - How, Why and What!

    We are not born knowing how to read and so it is a learned skill which needs practice. I am here to help you find your own reading path. It is not always easy if you are not a natural reader but there are tips to help you find your way with reading. It is an important skill as research shows that people who read more as children have more success with their qualifications, jobs and financial stability as adults.

  • Current Affairs

    Knowing what is going on in the World and the context of why is important for everyone. Learning how to find stories, check for facts and look into the history behind them, are all things which help to understand current affairs. This can be useful if you are considering University as part of your preparation for interviews. I can help you to find resources, offer templates for your research and to hone your skills in fact checking.

  • Personalised Reading List

    Sometimes not being able to find what to read next is what can stop a person reading. I am here to help by creating a reading list just for you. After a one hour session to find out about your interests and hobbies and what level you are reading at currently, I will curate a reading list just for you. This will include different formats and build on your stretch and challenge level as you work your way through it. Full descriptions of the items will also be given.
