A new partnership is offering free personalised haircuts to help kids go back to school with renewed confidence.
The partnership between tutoring service Cluey Learning and Just Cuts comes as new research shows that 88% of parents feel that their child can do with more individualised attention at school.
“It’s hard to reconcile that we expect such a deep level of personalisation for our everyday experiences, yet we don’t demand the same for our children’s learning,” Cluey Learning’s Chief Learning Officer, Dr Selina Samuels, said.
“Just as you wouldn’t expect your child to have the same hairstyle as every other student in their school, you wouldn’t expect them to be identical learners.”
Dr Samuels said that the school holidays should be a time to reflect on the learning needs of children going into Term 2.
“Online tutoring to complement the classroom is being embraced by many families around the world. Research shows that it is hugely beneficial for their learning and also their wellbeing for kids to receive support and encouragement from adults who are not their parents or teachers,” she said.
“We know that children are often too nervous to put their hand up in class to admit they don’t know something in front of their peers. It’s important to find a safe space where kids feel comfortable to ask questions or admit they don’t know something without being judged.”
