Should I drop my child off at the venue, or should I stay with them?

You are welcome to drop your child off at the Gentle Garden venue for the hour of the workshop. We also invite you to stay if you'd like to, or if your child would prefer you to be there. Some parents choose to wait inside the tutor's house (her sofa is very comfy!). Whatever works for your family.

How many children will be there?

We limit our Summer workshops to 6 students.

ALL AGES

You are booking a series of 3 daily 1 hour workshops.

Starting secondary school can be daunting, and even the most confident student can feel unprepared for such a big change. These workshops will teach your child the knowledge and skills they need not only survive, but thrive in this new environment.

Day one: travel to school and finding your way around the school site

Day two: school rules, teachers and peers.

Day three: study skills and homework.

This workshop is taught by Jane, an experienced teacher and tutor. It is suitable for any young person going from year six to year seven in September 2025.

The workshops run in the Lewisham / Greenwich area from Monday 4th August to Wednesday 6th August at 1 pm for an hour each day.

Gentle Learning Support

I am Jane, a local woman with more than 20 years experience as a qualified teacher (QTS) working with children and young people in South London. I have a passion for education, equality and environment. By environment I mean how our learning environments affect how we are able to thrive in our lives.

I currently teach students from KS1-KS4. I can support transition to secondary school with summer sessions and weekly lessons after school to support study skills.

I specialise in teaching students with additional needs, and I base my approach on child centred practices. I offer well being and emotional regulation sessions for any students who would benefit from this.

I have personal and professional experience of teaching and learning, health issues and equality issues. These are at the forefront of my practice. I work under the name Gentle Learning Support.
