Tutor arrived at 2.30 tics slowly increased as day wore on.  Didnt help boys had no one to play with today so they were a bit bored, no distractions.  Severe tics during start of tutoring, but hats off to Mrs Leake who persevered without batting an eyelid. Patient, calm and caring but determined to make progress at the same time.  If that had happened at school today they would have ended up coming home and achieved nothing but a feeling of failure. Creative teaching and understanding the capabilities of the boys during tics helps enormously. Just goes to show they can work through them and achieve something. Well done Mrs Leake and more importantly well done Joe and Ben for keeping at it. 
Now, report writing here I come (again !!).

finally finished reports at midnight - sat here wondering if I will ever have a life again outside of education issues.
