Our tuition assignments cover children and young people from KS1 through to KS5, with opportunities supporting a diverse range of educational needs. This may include Functional Skills Maths and English, academic catch-up, targeted intervention or personalised learning support.

Tuition may be delivered face-to-face, either within a school or an appropriate education setting, depending on the individual placement or online.

About the Setting

Our tuition opportunities can vary considerably, from supporting pupils who require additional help to catch up with their peers, through to more individualised provision for pupils with SEND or those who are currently unable to access a mainstream classroom setting.

Assignments cover KS1, KS2, KS3, KS4 and KS5, and each placement is different. We will discuss the specific requirements, setting, pupil needs and expectations with you before you start.
