Pure Learning

pure learning

It helps to have the last name "Pure" - it goes with so many nouns - and as a teacher, it made perfect sense to put "learning" after my name. Pure Learning started when my triplet children were four years old. As a reading specialist, who had experience in the classroom and in the private learning center arena, starting a small tutoring business seemed like the logical next step. I could set my own hours, focus on working 1:1 with students who had dyslexia and other learning issues, homeschool my own children, AND I could develop materials along the way - something I always enjoyed doing as a teacher. When I began working as a reading specialist at a Montessori school, I started implementing spelling lessons I had developed. Orton-Gillingham-based lessons with explicit skills instruction involving letters and sounds AND the use of three modalities - visual, auditory, and kinesthetic - were the most effective. Some of my students were strong in one area but weak in another. By presenting all three modalities in a lesson, each student could find their own strength and I could see how my student learned best. The teachers saw the difference the lessons I had created were making in their students' spelling and writing and craved a program that would teach them how to teach spelling AND make sense to the students. From that, Working with Words evolved. Fast forward 20+ years and, today, I can look back and know that this Orton-Gillingham-based, multisensory approach focused on phonics and the six syllable types has been successful with early, struggling, resistant, underconfident, AND strong readers and spellers. Teachers who have used Working with Words better understand the generalizations and rules that exist in spelling English words and how to teach them. What was consistent at the beginning of my teaching career and remains so today is my ener

Kent

We are specialist installers of Ultraline, the award-winning UK-made minimal sliding door system.A remarkable system with visual, thermal, security and functional benefits, made in the UK.My wife and I are absolutely thrilled with our two-pane Ultraline sliding patio doors - even more beautiful then we were expecting and the minimal sightlines are quite breath-taking - they have really brought the garden into our home. There were very few companies that we could find who could make a two-pane system of that size. Certainly not an inexpensive product, but good value compared to some others and worth every penny. I think I will stare at those doors for years to come. Dan was really helpful throughout the process over several months, sending me numerous videos, photos and other information to help me understand certain aspects of the product and installation. The fitters were amazing too - they did a fantastic job and were friendly, helpful, polite and careful throughout. Andrew Barclay, Reading We set out to find high quality doors with a very low profile. On scouring the market we found many variations but few with the look and appeal of the Ultraline sliding doors. We visited Georgia in the showroom in Kent who gave us a very comprehensive overview and followed up really quickly answering all of our questions. After extensive research across many suppliers, the Minima proposal gave the absolute best value when considering the quality of the product, price and service. On placing the order we went through the survey process which was extremely well communicated and professional. This ultimately led to an install in line with the expected timescales by a thorough and professional install team. In summary, I would definitely recommend Minima to anyone looking for a high quality slim profile sliding door. Great product, great comms and service. A pleasure to deal with. Mat Stanley, Chelmsford We first encountered Minima at an exhibition and instantly fell in love with the Ultraline doors. 9 months later our build is complete and we are delighted with how these look. The team at Minima were super helpful and always on hand to provide advice. Just buy them! You will have no regrets! Angelique Connolly, Reigate The view is the most important part of the house so the quality of the product was paramount. From the start the service, support and communication before and after installation was excellent. Dan and his team were most attentive and responsive. No question was too much trouble and the speed of the responses was really impressive. The installation was quick and professional and even though the installation was complex it went extremely quickly and smoothly. The team were very efficient. As expected the pr
