The Magnificent Molly

Tash: [00:00:00] Hello everyone, we’ve got another Limitless Learner here today to chat to us and we’ve got Molly today. Are you ready for your first question?

Okay. What things do you like most about our sessions together?

Molly: I like them because they’re really fun. And basically you kind of basically they are lots and lots of fun.

Tash: Well, what sort of things are fun. What makes you like the most, what lessons have you enjoyed?

Molly: Well, one while we played that we played with the elephant

Tash: Ahh Elefun, what the things come out of the little shoot?

Molly: Yeah,

Tash: I think my favourite one as well, because I could see how excited you was getting, you know, where we put the things on the [00:01:00] floor and then we had to whack the word with the, with the fly splatter. That was one of my favourite lessons, just because of how it excited you were.

How’d you think that that helps you learn then learning in that way?

Molly: You’re not like

you’re not like sitting, you’re not like sitting at like, it’s just not in a chair writing lots of work.

Tash: Oh, am I not making you work hard enough? Made in terms of like sitting still, like you would at school?

Molly: Yeah.

Tash: Yeah. You kind of up move in about.

Molly: It’s more fun than working with Mum and [00:02:00] Dad!

Tash: ’cause they make, they help you to get you to remember over the long term as well. Cause sometimes you have to keep going out. Even though, I know you don’t like homework but sometimes you have to keep going for it until you have fully got it to help you with your learning. So Mum and Dad do a great job, they do. But yeah, I get what you mean when we tried to make it as fun as possible, so that you are moving and are actively involved.

Molly: I also feel more confident than I do at school.

Tash: Oh, okay. What makes you feel more confident or like more as if you can do it more than at school?

Molly: Yeah. Yeah.

Tash: So is that, is that what you think is different about school and tutoring then?[00:03:00]

Which bit, which bit of it do you prefer in terms of like, if you think about our sessions and school, how, how are they different for you?

Molly: Wait, explain. You’ve frozen (we have had a bad connection in our little chat).

Yeah. Okay. What did you notice that’s different about in your school, yeah, that one?

Tash: That one,

Molly: We have one to one’s that are missing at school..

At school you don’t [00:04:00] get much attention. You just have to write all day. You only get like, two of them and a bit of time to write for like 20 minutes. You just have to write really quickly.

Tash: So it’s almost like you’ve got not much time.

Molly: And I struggle with that!

Tash: That you’ve got so much to do in such a small space of time? I can hear you. Can you hear me?

Molly: Yeah.

Tash: So basically is it. I’ll try and hold a permanent smile. Okay. So basically what you said is at school, you have to do so much writing over a small [00:05:00] amount of time. Yeah. And at least with tutoring you have that one-to-one support as you’re doing it.

Molly: It’s more fun and less boring in tutoring.

Tash: I like that lot. I always tried to make it fun. You know that. Okay. If you could have, so you’ve got the magic wand, you’re a bit like Harry Potter and you’re going to make one wish about school? What would you change?

Molly: I would change that. I just have more time to do my work [00:06:00] and more attention to yourself.

Tash: Is it the school? You don’t get much time and you also don’t get as much attention from the teachers and stuff. Yeah. So like to help you.

Molly: Yeah, they cause they have to help everybody out.

Tash: I get that. I get that. And that’s a really hard job. Isn’t it? When you’ve got like 30 odd children in front of you is quite hard to be able to go up to somebody and try and help them so closely that we do. So yeah, I could understand why it’d be like a pressure thing.

Molly: Yeah, it’s fine.

Tash: It’s a bit, it’s a bit jolty . You keep on freezing but I can hear you still, which is good.[00:07:00] Okay. Okay. One thing that you’d like me to know about our tutoring sessions? It could be anything.

Molly: I like, I like the games but I would like them more often.

Tash: Oh, okay. You would like the games more often?

Molly: No I would like the lessons more often!

Tash: Well that’s pretty cool. Okay. We can see what we can do about that. That’s no worries. I’m glad that you enjoying the games and stuff. Is there anything that you wish that I could do? [00:08:00] There’s no right or wrong answer.

Molly: Not really no!

Maybe going back to the things you did at the beginning. Yeah. It goes back to the things I did at the beginning and like seeing how much better I got.

Tash: Okay. So maybe we could do like what you think we get into, but then going over the different phonics that we’re doing at the moment, we can then do like a little, little test and at the end of it, just to see whether it’s all stuck.

Molly: Yeah

Tash: That sounds like a good [00:09:00] plan. We can definitely do that. Just to check how you’re getting on. I reckon you’ll do superbly in them! That’s my prediction.

Molly, thank you so much for chatting with me. I’m going to stop the recording so that I can say goodbye to you.
