In part 3 of his new series titled ‘Connections Over Compliance’, Jack Simmonds explains the role of a role model in today’s society.
A recent comment by a British MP stirred some debate around what a role model should be. Jack’s piece here will show you how damaging these kinds of comments can be.
Nudge Education and Qualified Tutor have been partners for a while. But this brings something different, something special. The Love Tutoring Festival 2: Monday 24th – Friday 28th January 2022.

In what may come as a new perspective on the traditional break-down of subjects, Jack challenges our perceptions of mindfulness in schools.
Why would we break mindfulness into 40-minute ‘lessons’? Are we teaching students to consider mindfulness only in rigid, pre-arranged chunks, like algebra or poetry?
“I do not expect time to stand still but we must continue to build a nation of literate and proactive citizens.”
Victoria Burns challenges us to fight the progression of society towards technology in the field of reading.

JACK is BACK!
Jack Simmonds, QT’s incredible Lead Facilitator, returns for a new blog series, following on from his highly informative Language Matters series.
Here, Jack kicks us off with a look at the area of Confirmation Bias and how it can (negatively) impact a child’s understanding of their own ability.
In the final part of his series on the importance of language, Jack Simmonds takes us through the (negative) impact of the phrase “Use your words.”
Instead, Jack suggests some alternative ways of approaching this situation and gives helpful guidance on the key areas to avoid in order to facilitate a more understanding relationship between educator and student.
We delve into the world of school placement support here, with Yuliya Kosko, Co-Founder of EducAd Consulting. EducAd was set up by Yuliya and her business partner, Ivona, to facilitate better support for, predominantly, Russian families looking for better education for their children here in the UK.
It’s a heartwarming story and continues to be a vital system for many children and parents across the country.
