Educational Psychotherapy ● Does your child or teenager need a boost to his or her confidence with learning? ● Are you worrying about his/her behaviour at home, and/or learning at school? ● Are events in your family affecting his/her emotional well-being?

Educational Psychotherapy offers an opportunity for your child to achieve his or her unique potential. One-to-one sessions — including drawing, creative story-writing and specially-designed games — provide ways to explore and share problems safely and confidentially.

Crucially, parents get time and space to discuss concerns with a caring, experienced and non-judgemental professional.

Trained at the world-leading Tavistock Clinic, Anne Casimir has for the last ten years been Head of the Clinical Service at the Caspari Foundation for Educational Psychotherapy and Therapeutic Teaching.

If you’re skint, first ask yourself “Do I need it?, Can I afford it? Have I checked whether it’s available cheaper elsewhere?!” If the answer to any of those is no, don’t buy it.

Buy stolen goods on the cheap

You can’t yet search for this on eBay, but if you go to my eBay Local Deals Mapper tool www.moneysavingexpert.com/localebay it finds these bargains for you and maps how close they are.

There’s also an Android and iPhone app version.

If you don’t fancy burning the midnight oil, combine this trick with auto-bidding tools below, which can bid on your behalf while you’re deep in the land of nod.

Build Amazon 75% bargain basements Of course, eBay isn’t the only fruit. Amazon’s range for everyone to see everything. Yet there’s a trick you can use to manipulate its URLs (web addresses) to discounts, for example, beauty discounted by more than 75% or TVs by 25%. with a bit of savvy. Easier, I’ve built a tool that does it for you — just go to www.moneysavingexpert.com/ amazon, put in what you’re looking for and how big a discount you want and it builds the page instantly.

Reclaim 14 years of lost music Buy CDs/vinyl from Amazon and its Auto rip services mean you can not get the MP3s for nothing. Yet did you know this works for anything bought since 1999?

So you can recover years worth of music from CDs you may have lost or damaged. To check for lost music, just log on to Amazon.co.uk’s Cloud Player to see what music’s in there - you can then stream or download it.

In 10 minutes, one member of my team found 150 albums going back 13 years.

Free translation Andriod app for 50 languages There’s a handy trick to turn an Android smartphone into translator for free. Just download Google Translate from the Google Play store. Do this in the UK before you go, and you won’t need data to use it overseas. There are 50 languages to choose from, including French, Spanish, Greek and Thai.

GIFT

Make your Jewellery look BRAND NEW!

Purchasing jewellery can be an expensive experience and as a result you want it to look its worth.

That’s where we come in.

“Could not recommend more highly this amazing service. I would definitely use you again”

From as little as £10 you can restore that original sparkling look by having your jewellery either polished or dipped in white, rose or yellow gold.

RL Golders Green

Upon reciept of polished or dipped jewellery, customers could not believe it was the same piece of jewellery they gave in.

“I was quoted £50 somewhere else to polish my rings and you charge 1/5 of that price to do the same job”

A recent customer commented, “I’ve never had my rings polished before. I am ecstatic at the results! They literally look brand new - and that’s after 30 years of wearing them”!

PaL Why was PaL created?

Sammy Homburger ‫ ז”ל‬was a wonderful person, with a fantastic personality who spread the light of Torah to everyone he met. He was a great ‘people person’ and all who knew him felt they were his best friend. Nine years ago, shortly after he was niftar, Rabbi Paysach Krohn, a close family friend came to address the North West London community. It was at this event that Rabbi Krohn suggested that we set up an organisation similar to Partners in Torah which is based in the USA and had been running successfully for over 13 years.

Following that a committee was established, and PaL was founded in lasting memory of Sammy ‫ז”ל‬.

Can you briefly describe how PaL works?

PaL offers the WWW option - whatever, wherever, whenever - so that you can learn whatever you want to learn, wherever and whenever you want to learn it, making PaL the most flexible Jewish learning opportunity.

Through PaL, any Jewish person is able to learn any Jewish topic, at a time that is convenient for them, and best of all, it is totally free.

What kind of response have you received from PaL members?

The positive feedback and enthusiasm from both PaL tutors and partners has been overwhelming and glowing. Both tutors and partners feel that they gain so much from their learning sessions, and very often wonderful friendships are created through their learning partnerships. Whilst there is no obligation on either the tutor or partner to meet up in person, many have done so and

they share with us stories of their wonderful experiences when they have met up with their PaL partner for shabbos, at family simchas or just for a coffee.

Isn’t it so much harder to learn/be taught via the phone, rather than face-to-face?

Learning on the phone or on Skype gives partners and tutors the flexibility to maintain a regular study partnership without the restraints commonly associated with needing to meet up in person. Many people prefer learning by phone as they feel less inhibited.

PaL provides focused training for all PaL tutors as to successful methods of telephonebased learning and advises and guides both tutors and partners on how to make the most of their study sessions.

In PaL’s history, what’s the furthest distance of PaL learning partners?

The furthest distance between a PaL tutor and partner is London to Sandton, South Africa. We have many PaL tutors based in UK learning with partners based in France, Belgium, Germany, Italy and Turkey amongst other countries. We also have PaL partnerships where both the partner and tutor are based overseas such as the great partnership between Ilana and Mindy who are based in Modella, Victoria on the south coast of Australia. The beauty of PaL is that distance is really not a constraint, since participants are able to learn either on the phone or using Skype as many have started to do over recent years.

How long do partners generally continue to learn for?

PaL maintains a close relationship with each PaL tutor and partner and as such PaL participants share their stories and experiences with us of how they feel have gained and been enthused by learning through PaL. When you hear people describe how they now appreciate the beauty of Yiddishkeit - something they never thought would be possible nor that they would be interested in it motivates and encourages us to continue to develop PaL to reach new heights.

What is your biggest challenge at PaL? Many people want to study through PaL as they see the organisation to be creative, dynamic and professional. We aim to match every PaL partner with their own PaL tutor within 72 hours of them signing up to PaL.

What keeps the PaL team inspired and so focused?

We have many partnerships that have been learning since PaL started. It is wonderful when people are able to gain a friendship as well as improving their Torah knowledge.

Sometimes people sign up to PaL to achieve a specific goal, for example, if they would like to learn a certain topic or prepare for Yeshiva or Sem, and then the partnership could be more short-term based. We have often found that once people join PaL, they continue to learn with their partner long after reaching their initial target. On several occasions PaL partners have often taken on additional learning opportunities in their week but wish to continue their PaL partnership as they enjoy their relationship with their PaL tutor.

This means that having a pool of suitable PaL tutors at any given time is essential. We continue to experience siyata d’shmaya in being able to find suitable PaL tutors. To ensure we can meet the growing demand for PaL we hope that our pool of PaL tutors will equally increase. The training and guidance given to all new PaL tutors has given comfort to many new tutors who were previously apprehensive to teach.
