I provide personalised online tutoring for pupils with SEN/SEND who are unable to attend mainstream education. I use a holistic, trauma-informed approach to adapt learning to each student's individual needs, supporting their academic progress, confidence, and wellbeing. I work closely with learners and families to create a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment that helps vulnerable students overcome barriers to education and achieve positive outcomes.
