I trained in the early ’60s (yes, I am that old!) and taught a variety of classes in the UK and Canada.  I loved teaching but I had one question that no one seemed able to answer.

Why did some kids learn more easily than others?

I knew it wasn’t so called ‘intelligence’ that made the difference because  I worked with bright kids who were struggling to learn.

So what was the answer?

It took me years of specialist training, personal research and help from parents  to find the answer. 

And it was so simple and profound that it changed my life. And it can change yours too.

I discovered that students who were good learners knew HOW to learn.  They had developed the skills that made learning easy. 

The next part of the question was who had helped them develop those skills?

I knew that it wasn’t teachers.  They are too busy getting through the curriculum to spend much time on skill development.

That left parents. It was parents who had given their children skills that enabled them to succeed in school.

So far so good.

Then came the third and possibly most important part of my question.  How had parents done this?

It took me seven years of research to figure this out.

They set the scene for learning.  They had prepared children to benefit from their schooling and they had done this easily and simply.

But not all parents knew how to do this, so, after retiring from the classroom, I decided to help parents know how to set the scene for learning.

After several false starts I have created The Porter Process.  This unique process provides you with the information and advice that takes not only takes the stress out of helping your child learn but also gives you the key to  your child’s success.
