Ilana King is one of the few 7+ entrance specialists. With a new training course and book, Ilana has given tutors and parents the opportunity to learn and grow.

Ilana is the Founder of Education Pathfinder, an educational consultancy business that has helped hundreds of parents plot the right path for their child. As part of her 7+ work, Ilana has recently written a book for parents who want to know more about the 7+ exam, and specifically for those parents who cannot afford a 7+ tutor. This book, The Parents’ Handbook for the 7+ Entrance Exams, can be found at amazon.co.uk/dp/B093N2CQ37.

While the 7+ entrance route has traditionally been the remit of the more affluent families in London, Ilana is committed to making it more accessible to more parents.

Here at Qualified Tutor, we're particularly interested in Ilana's commitment to training tutors too. If you'd like to become an effective 7+ tutor, there's only one place to look: Ilana's special training course, which can be found at educationpathfinder.co.uk/six-months-to-becoming-a-7-specialist.

Sharon Cawley is a pioneer of the partnership between tutors, teachers and schools. She has a huge following of teachers, tutors and small business owners ... and rightly so.

Sharon started her career as an English teacher in 1994. Today, Sharon runs the hugely successful Conexus Tuition which currently works with over 4000 children in schools.

Sharon does not shy away from discussing her own journey from teaching to tutoring which, in 2012, consisted of being left without work, on the dole. Just 8 years later, Sharon heads up an NTP Tuition Partner organisation.

More importantly though, she'd like to meet Greg Davies, and potentially marry him too. If you know how to make this happen, please get in touch.

Finally, you can hear Sharon as part of the NTP Partners&Schools Roundtable at the Love Tutoring Festival on Thursday 1st July at 11am, alongside Manning's Tutors, Action Tutoring and EM Tuition. Grab your tickets at qualifiedtutor.org/community/love-tutoring-festival/.

Colette Stevenson is passionate about supporting others to learn for themselves. As a graphic designer and educator with ADHD, Colette is well aware of the need for giving learners space.

We've long encouraged the use of visuals and graphics in tutoring, as a way to diversify our sessions and give students a different angle of approaching their learning. In this conversation, Colette explains why tutors should use graphics and their importance in enhancing learning.

For further information on Colette's new Instagram project, go and check out @postagrid. A new way of maximising the reach of Instagram through the creation of mazes, storytelling and engaging students, Colette (who can also be found by visiting @colette.branddesigner) has jumped aboard a unique project - don't miss out!

Perry Clemons has got a new and refreshing way for you to learn Maths. Perry has created a set of Mathic Games which will revolutionise your relationship with Maths.

Ideal for tutors, these two games, the Mathic Number game and the Mathic Fraction game, allow students to visualise Maths in a game environment. The rules are simple and can be found by visiting either Mathic Number (https://www.mathicnumbercardgame.com/mathic-number) or Mathic Fraction (https://www.mathicnumbercardgame.com/mathic-fraction).

In this conversation, we discuss the possibilities for these games and Perry's tutoring philosophy. As a former teacher who's now studying for an M.S. in Childhood Education, Perry has spent every working day since the age of 20 building a framework for how children learn Maths ... and now he's created a bridge for the most common gaps in understanding.

Watch out for Perry's Maths-based riddle at [03:49] - he reveals the answer at [31:37} but there's NO CHEATING ALLOWED ...

Jessica Rutherford and Clare Devanney-Glynn are the pioneering hosts of the Spotlight on FASD Podcast and we welcome them on to discuss this condition in the sphere of education.

Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder is the term for a group of conditions caused by prenatal exposure to alcohol and, perhaps surprisingly, it is the most common, non-genetic cause of learning disability in the UK (British Medical Association, 2007). Studies have shown that as much as 1 student in every class may suffer from FASD.

It is incredibly important that educators and medical professionals treat FASD seriously.

Here, we explore what tutors can do in a tutoring session to aid students with this condition. (Hint: it is NOT what happens in a classroom setting)

The best resource for tutors who are new to FASD, as recommended by Jessica, has been produced by the NHS for Ayrshire And Arran, Understanding FASD: What Educators need to know. Start here and continue to listen in to the Spotlight on FASD Podcast.
