We teach in your home
So much of the success of teaching is based on how comfortable the child is and we do nearly all of our tuition in your home. If, however, you feel this might not be suitable then please contact us as we can help find another location to work in that will be just as good.
5 to 7 year old tuition
For 5 to 7 year old pupils we work to consolidate the things they learned during the early years period like number recognition, counting, reading and linguistics. We are also able to focus on areas where the pupil may be struggling. We use a range of interactive games and activities as well as a wide range of resources. Some of these are tried and tested and some are highly successful new ideas.
7 to 11 year old tuition
For 7 to 11 year old pupils the key is to challenge and stimulate and make lessons enjoyable and engaging. Over the years we have found that mixing up lessons from time to time can really benefit a child and this could include things like a pre-planned trip or just teaching in a different environment like a garden in the summer. As with younger years we can focus on areas where the pupil might find hard which can be great at preventing them falling behind in school. This can involve re visiting Key Stage 1 areas to make sure the foundations are as good as they can be.
We also offer tuition for Key Stage 3 pupils as well as music lessons for all ages.
We work with pupils from a number of schools around Lewes and the wider Sussex area. So if your children are at Lewes New School, Southover School, Saint Pancras, Wallands, Priory School or Lewes Old Grammar School get in touch to discuss how we can help.
Music tuition in Lewes
As highly skilled musicians and music teachers our tutors thrive on inspiring a love for music as well as practical and theory skills in their pupils. All our music lessons are tailor-made to suit the child and to play to their strengths rather than teaching a standard format to all pupils. We even offer lessons for parents and children together which can be a great deal of fun and a wonderful way to learn.

"Sheila was my tutor leading up to my entrance exams and SATS. I really like Sheila, she explained things slowly and helped me when I didn't understand things. We always had fun in the lesson too. She helped me to understand fractions which I was really stuck on. I would recommend having Sheila as your tutor because she will help you understand and also have fun too!" - Alicia (Year 6 pupil)

“My daughter’s confidence has grown so much, since starting weekly tutoring sessions with Discover and Be, that she has won herself a place in a Children’s Poetry Anthology “Sense Poetry - Amazing Sensations” to be sent to The British Library and other libraries throughout the UK and Ireland. Helped by Sheila’s wealth of experience, gentle approach and dynamic teaching my daughter was encouraged to explore poetry through the senses and has created a wonderful poem to grace the shelves of readers for years to come. Thank you Discover and Be! We are extremely proud!”
