Learning is never linear!
/Our most successful clients are the clients who understand that learning is never linear. They understand that learning does not just go in one steady direction. Learning is bumpy. There will be huge bumps along the way. There will be falling down and getting back up - over and over and over and over again.
Our most successful clients are the ones who manage their expectations beautifully.
The clients who stay with us for the least amount of time (2-3 months) are the clients who become discouraged because they don’t see the progress they assume they should be seeing. They blame the programme. Some even blame me. But that’s just not how it works. True learning the way I define it doesn’t happen in just 2-3 months! Sorry!
I compare it a lot to my weight loss journey. When I gain weight is when I eat 500 cals more than is on my plan, its not because my coach has a programme that does not work. It’s simply part of the weigh loss progress (and also because I went off plan!). It’s easy for me to just blame my £300 a month coach and her programme. I never do that.
Our most successful clients are the clients who don’t get discouraged when their children do not learn their phonics as quickly as they expect that they should.
Our most successful clients are the ones who know that it might take their child a long, long time to recognise numbers and even when they don’t recognise numbers, they will relentlessly continue to show them.
Our most successful clients are the clients who continue to ask their children a variety of different questions even though their children don’t answer in the manner that they would like them to. They model it to them. They show them. They explain.
Our most successful clients are the ones who are willing to be disappointed and know that success will only come to them if they carry on and persevere.
Our most successful students and the ones who understand all of the above to. They are the ones whose eyes light up when they see their teacher appear on their screen. They are the ones who have so much laughter throughout the weekly lessons that they have with their teacher and throughout the week with their parents.
Learning will never be successful if there is no laughter. If it is not light- hearted. If it is not fun.
Learning must always be fun.
Parents who believe that it is up to their tutor, their private teacher or their school to teach their child haven’t understood what learning is truly about.
Learning is not just a click your finger and voila type of experience.
Learning is messy, learning is frustrating, learning is infuriating.
Learning is also beautiful, joyful, exciting and full of love.
It is the full 50/50 experience. Embrace it. Climb that mountain and know that you will all fall down time and time and time again. It’s in the moments that you get up, hold hands and dust yourselves off that the magic happens.
