1-1 interview practice is designed to give your child guidance and support through the interview process. Children are guided through the usual types of questions they may be given and how to answer in full sentences with a golden thread throughout. Children gain confidence knowing the types of questions they may be asked and how to be able to answer these questions. Interview practice at Yellowbird is not about telling children what to say but about working with their answers and how to improve on them.
Private sessions include 50 minutes of interview skills and practice with 10 minutes extensive feedback to parents and your child.
These sessions will be hosted by Lucy Watts.
