🏆 CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE! 🏆
What a moment. What a team. What a journey.

As England lifts the Euro 2025 trophy, it’s impossible not to think about how far women’s football has come — and how much this victory means.

Sarina Wiegman, the mastermind behind this historic win, once had to pretend to be a boy just to be allowed to play football. That’s how badly she wanted it — and how few opportunities there were for girls.

Now, she’s led two nations to European glory, shattered barriers, and inspired a generation. From pretending to belong to proving she always did. 💪⚽👑

This isn’t just a win. It’s a legacy.

Here are some questions that we get asked. Hopefully the answers will put some minds at ease.

What should I bring to my first tuition session?
Please bring a book, calculator (for maths and science lessons) , pen and if possible a list of topics you want to work on. If you can’t bring all of this, or forget, don't worry we’ll try to figure out a solution.

How long is each tuition session?
Sessions are online via zoom and 60 minutes long. We advise you to log in a few minutes early for a prompt start to the lesson.

What if I don’t understand something during the session?
Don’t worry, we will teach you! If you don’t understand something we’ll go through the topic together slowly, and use a range of resources to help you understand. Not knowing something is all part of learning, the more questions you ask the more you learn!

How do I know tuition is helping me?’
You will notice improvements slowly, questions become a little easier to answer and you start to work through them quicker. Your grades will also get better, as you become more confident with the topic and learn to problem solve.

Can I choose what we focus on?
Of course you can! Each lesson is tailored to what you want to learn and topics you find difficult or want to focus on. At the beginning of the lesson we will discuss your goals and areas you want to improve so lesson plans can be made according to that.

What if I find the work too easy or too hard?
Don’t worry, we’ll adjust the lesson plan to suit your needs. If the work is too easy we can use resources to challenge you a little more, and if the work is too hard we’ll explain the topic again and go through the work together until you understand it better.

Do you help with exam preparation?
Yes! We use past papers, exam board mark schemes and personal experience tackling exams to teach you exam techniques and help you prepare for your exams.

What if I’m nervous?
Don’t worry, in the first lesson we will introduce you to tutoring and the tutor to help ease your nervousness. Don’t be afraid to ask as many questions as you want, and if you’re too shy to ask any that’s okay as well, just drop us a message in the chat box.

Can you help with homework from school?
Yes we can! Just bring your homework and we’ll go through it together. We’ll help you understand the homework so you can answer it yourself.

How often should I have tuition sessions?
Most students have one lesson a week, some do one session a week for each lesson they want to learn. We will help you figure out a lesson plan based on your goals and weekly schedule.

🌞 The Summer Holidays Are Almost Here! 🌞

The summer break is a valuable time for students to rest, recharge, and spend quality time with family and friends. However, it can also bring changes to routine, with more unstructured time and increased independence, both on and offline.

The end of term is often a flurry of activity, leaving many students feeling a mix of excitement, uncertainty, or even anxiety. It’s important that children get plenty of rest over the holidays and feel able to talk openly about how they’re feeling. Encourage your child to maintain a routine, keep active, and spend time doing things they enjoy.

If you have any concerns about your child’s mental health or emotional wellbeing, helpful advice and guidance can be found on the NHS website and YoungMinds 👉 www.youngminds.org.uk

Many young people also spend more time online during the holidays. While the internet offers great opportunities for learning, creativity, and connection, it brings potential risks too. One area of growing concern is online ‘challenges’. Some may appear harmless but can carry emotional pressure, risky behaviours, or hidden dangers.

Please encourage your child to talk about the content they engage with online, and remind them that not all trends or challenges are safe or appropriate.

👉 A helpful guide for parents about online challenges can be found here: Internet Matters – Online Challenges Guide

✨ Wishing all our students and families a safe, restful, and happy summer break. ✨

Have you tried the new M&S Strawberries & Cream Sandwich?

Is it a British summer in a bite or just a weird dessert pretending to be lunch? 🤔😂
- Let's ask the tax man....

Soft white bread, sweet strawberry jam, and cream cheese filling – basically a scone in sandwich form.
Will you give it a go or stick to your usual prawn mayo?

My youngest tried it last week. Want to hear her review?
'Me and Tallulah hated it! It was really thick and made me gag 😭'

I am not taking her word for it - I really want to try it!

If you've already tried it - let me know your review!!!

Let me start!

“Shut the door, were you born in a barn?”
“What did your last slave die of?”
And of course, “Because I said so!”

When you have children, you always think you’re going to be the calm, patient mum who glides through parenthood without ever putting a foot wrong. Your children will be smart, clever, funny, and want to spend all their spare time with you.

Someone once told me that you turn more and more into your parents the older you get. What a load of rubbish, I thought. Until… I had children!

Now I hear myself repeating phrases my parents used, and I completely understand their frustrations. I’ve just remembered another one: “Wait until you have children of your own.” There’s karma for you!

Obviously, I don’t use every saying my mum used – “Do you want me to give you something to cry about?” is one that comes to mind… 😅

Come on, let’s hear yours. What did your mum always say? Drop it in the comments below!

Firstly, an apology.

We’ve been away from social media for a short time as our accounts were unfortunately hacked. Our Instagram is still out of use for now – but we’re back on Facebook!

This photo was taken six years ago. Apart from feeling like it was taken 6 minutes ago (that’s ageing for you), it really highlights to me and the team just how far we’ve come, how much we’ve grown, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

Sana and I are immensely proud of what we have built and continue to build. We are proud of the students who have come through our doors – figuratively speaking – and all they have accomplished. We are proud of our tutors and the high standard of tuition they provide every single day.

Over the six years since this photo was taken, we have evolved and changed constantly, and I truly believe it has all been for the better.

💙 If you would like to join our 'My Bluewater Tutor' family for Maths, English, Science, or 11 Plus tuition, please do get in touch. We are a friendly, supportive bunch and would love to help your child thrive.

Thank you for all your support, as always.
