Getting to grips with GCSE History At GLA Tutors, we are dedicated to helping students excel in their GCSE History examinations. Our experienced tutors are passionate about history and committed to providing comprehensive support aligned with the AQA examination board's specification.  Let's explore the breakdown of the AQA GCSE History specification: Paper 1: Understanding the Modern World This paper focuses on key historical events and developments from the 20th century. Our tutors will guide students through topics such as the origins of World War I, the Treaty of Versailles, the rise of Hitler and the Nazis, the Cold War, and the civil rights movement. We provide in-depth analysis, engaging discussions, and access to a wide range of historical sources to help students develop a deep understanding of these crucial events. Paper 2: Shaping the Nation In this paper, students will explore the history of Britain from medieval times to the present day. Our tutors will delve into topics such as the Norman Conquest, the Tudors, the Industrial Revolution, the British Empire, and the impact of immigration. We provide comprehensive guidance on key historical figures, significant events, and the social, political, and economic changes that shaped the nation. Through interactive lessons and engaging activities, we help students develop a strong grasp of British history. Historical Investigation This component allows students to conduct an in-depth investigation on a topic of their choice. Our tutors will provide guidance on selecting a suitable topic, conducting research, analysing sources, and presenting findings. We help students develop critical thinking skills, research methodology, and the ability to construct coherent and well-supported arguments. This component allows students to develop their historical research skills while exploring a topic of personal interest. At GLA Tutors, we foster a supportive and inclusive learning environment, where students can explore and deepen their understanding of history. Our tutors provide personalised one-on-one sessions, group discussions, and access to a range of learning resources to cater to each student's unique needs. Beyond the specification, we encourage critical thinking, historical empathy, and the ability to analyse and interpret historical sources. We also focus on developing strong exam techniques, essay writing skills, and effective revision strategies to maximise exam success.

EMM-Tech Short Course. This is a short introductory course created by Ross Emmett so that everyone would have the opportunity to use some of his work to help themselves, friends and family. It is primarily designed for non-professionals, however, it is also an ideal low cost introduction for trained therapists to see what EMMETT is all about. The course contains 11 moves which have been specially selected from the EMMETT Technique Practitioner Course. The course is conducted over 8 hours and may be offered as a one 8-hour day or two 4-hour sessions which are usually from one day to two weeks apart. No prior experience is necessary to attend a course. It can be attended by anyone over 16 years old.

Course Information Who should attend? This course is provided for people who work in the care sector and are required to have knowledge and understanding of Makaton which is a communication tool that has been used for many years to support people with learning / speech difficulties. It is made up of a combination of speech, signs, symbols, gesture and facial expressions. Over the last few years, it has become widely recognised and used within many different services to support communication. Although Makaton is extremely beneficial to support communication, it is also lots of fun to learn too! Children and adults who have difficulty understanding and speaking often become frustrated or withdrawn. By using Makaton, we are helping them to communicate with friend and staff members. For those who have experienced the frustration of being unable to communicate meaningfully or effectively, Makaton really can help. Makaton takes away that frustration and enables individuals to connect with other people and the world around them. This opens up all kinds of possibilities. Course delivery The one-day course will provide an insight into the background of Makaton and who it can benefit. Sessions include discussing commonly asked questions, hints and tips for effective signing and symbol use and how to start using Makaton in everyday situations at work. This course is delivered in 1 day of classroom training led by a professional instructor to cover the all course elements.

Tarot Card Reading Course Saturday 12th October 2024 10.00 am to 4.30 pm Tarot cards are the original way to make a reading. Often feared because of the Death card and the dramatic pictures for The Tower. Whereas in reality the Death card simply means New Beginnings and the Tower shows a dramatic change is coming.  The Minor Arcana 56 cards, comprising four suits. Learning to understand the meaning of each suit and the corresponding numbers. Looking at the pictures for clues to really fix the cards into your memory. Exploring using your intuition and knowledge to bring about a greater understanding. You can use effective spreads with just these cards for readings. The Major Arcana 22 cards embellish the story. Each card builds a picture to add with the Minor Arcana cards. Beginning with 0 - The Fool, each card trying to show how the fool is taught about life, past and future. I have always felt the tarot cards give a more exact reading. Being blunt and to the point, leaving no doubt of the meaning. However, always being aware that free will and interpretation are strong, knowing that it is never good to live your life by the cards, using their story for building awareness to situations of the past and where you can, hopefully, move into a different direction for your present and future. You will be shown how to make simple spreads with only three cards, building to a full ten card reading. With practice and patience, you will be able to offer guidance for yourself and friends and family. I also offer guidance on how to give readings for others, reminding of the importance to remain impartial and never offer your own advice within the session. People will remember the reading, good and bad parts and even knowing they should never base their life around the reading, they will! It is a good addition to being a complementary practitioner as the cards can offer guidance as a visual tool for clients. Being a clairvoyant tarot reader does come in handy. I feel it is essential to own a set of cards for this workshop, I will focus on the Rider Waite pack of cards. The Radiant set are particularly good for interpretation as the pictures are somewhat updated from the original pack and are easier to get the meaning embedded into your memory. Set of cards is £17.00 Please say if you would like a pack of cards when booking your place. If you have other sets you would like to bring along, that is great. We can compare them to help with the interpretation. There will be some reading for you to complete before the course to ensure learning on the day runs smoothly. Cost for the day workshop is £80. Deposit of £30 required on booking.  Balance to be paid 48 hours before the course date.  £17.00 for the set of cards to use during the workshop. A non-refundable deposit is required to secure your place for all courses. Personal tuition: If you feel you would like to learn the Tarot on a private basis this will suit you. Private 1 to 1 teaching of Tarot. 5 hours for £152 Deposit of £52 on booking If you feel you would benefit from this tuition you can book your own date.
