A helping hand to find fun ways to learn

I’m Sam and I’m one half of the Parent’s Homework Hub duo and I love finding fun ways to learn!

Who is Sam?

Once upon a time, I worked as a nursery assistant before becoming a qualified teacher, a deputy nursery manager and now a tutor, as well as being a proud mum to 2 beautiful little learners of life.

cooking for reading and writing — Reading, making, writing and eating delicious recipes.

sweets in maths — Sweet problem solving at its finest.

pizza fractions — Feast on fractions – a practical way to make maths visual and real.

My career has seen me work with children from 6 weeks old up to 15 years old. I have worked with boys, girls, all personality types, working with a huge array of needs, learning styles and backgrounds. My various teams were with passionate, clever, creative people who helped me to develop my knowledge, skills and love of learning at every stage.

repurpose games for learning — Repurpose games to support writing, deduction, inference and questioning skills.

How Can I Help Find Fun Ways To Learn?

This part of the Parent’s Homework Hub site is not to advertise my tuition business, but you share some of the activities I use with my clients to help to support your little learners even further in their journeys.

build a word with blocks — Building on from a Homework Hub classic.

flip books and slid notes — We love flip cards and sliding word cards a lot!
