Julie James (Davies)

I tailor lessons to student requirements. We will have a discussion about your goals and needs and how I can support you to meet them.

Together we will identify:

> your requirements - including how you learn,
> my commitment - including availability and, flexibility
> timelines - where you have requirements to achieve a particular competence or submit a piece of work by an identified date
> any aids, adjustments, adaptation you require - including if you have any visual impairment, disability, condition
> barriers - factors which could impact on your progress (including but not limited to childcare, appointments, physical health, mental health) in order that we factor appropriate considerations into the plan.

This is evolving and will be honed as our sessions progress.

Students will be actively involved in the process, not simply receiving information, direction and guidance. Student input is key to achieving goals. We will use real life examples to progress. You won't be paying me to simply provide or translate information, I'll support you to improve your skills, whilst encouraging you to research, challenge and question without fear. You will be supported in a way which builds confidence, empowers and enables you to achieve your current goals, as well as providing a platform for you to identify future goals.

Your feedback is an important part of the sessions and enables me to tailor and, develop sessions to suit you, the student. It also supports me to review my practice and skills to better meet the requirements of students.
