Welcome to Big School

Life is Big School. We are learning every day.

Learning life skills from each other, sharing with each other.

Learning in a way that promotes optimism, self-esteem & retention.

My name is Andy Morse and I am a Laser Level 3 Helen-Arkell-trained tutor specialising in assisting students who have Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Dyscalculia, ADHD, Neurodiversity, School Anxiety or School Refusal. I live and work in Lower Bourne, Farnham. I am married with three sons.

I have been tutoring local children, teenagers and adults in numeracy, literacy, memory and other selected syllabus topics on a part-time basis, since 2010, and have also had assistant teaching experience in South Farnham & Beacon Hill School. I have a stationery retail business and am ECB Level 2 & Schools Cricket coach.

As someone who has experienced depression, anxiety and PTSD, I've developed teaching methods and resources designed to be fun and engaging to anyone experiencing similar. My approach is quite different from traditional school education. I believe in adults and children working side by side. Listening and learning from each other. Acknowledging the mistakes that we make. Celebrating the successes.

This website has been built by many different Big School students. We hope you enjoy it. If you're interested to see what some of the older 'students' are up to these days then click here.

I am not taking on any new students at the moment but I am offering chat sessions for parents looking for practical tips on how to support their child or teenager. Or who would like help in interpreting an assessment for Dyslexia or Dyspraxia. You can find details and book online here. All sessions are either socially distanced in person or on Zoom as suits you.
