What should I consider when creating a good home classroom?

Our Head of Home-schooling and Relocation, Felicia, gives her advice on setting up an effective home classroom

No matter how much space you can devote to home learning, try to make that area as dedicated to your child’s schooling as you can.

If possible, dedicate a room to your home-school; having an area that is distinct from the living areas in your home will help your child understand when they are in their school room, it is time to work.

Don’t have a dedicated space? Don’t panic! 

If you can’t dedicate a whole room, we recommend setting up a desk or table for your child and tutor to work on. A table big enough for two seats is important, as both your child and your tutor will need to sit around it!

You may also need to dedicate an area in your home for storing the books, papers, projects, and other work from lessons. A storage unit on wheels could be the perfect way of keeping home and school work separate!

Top Tip! Keep a small whiteboard outside the classroom that your tutor can write on to let you know if they are running out of supplies.
