Education, Tuition & Alternative Provision Support
Individualised, SEND-informed education support for children across Early Years, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
I provide flexible and practical support for children who may not currently be accessing education successfully, need additional or alternative education provision, or would benefit from tailored teaching and support.
All provision is child-centred, based on individual needs and adapted to developmental level rather than simply chronological age.
Sessions may support children with autism, ADHD, SEMH needs, communication or sensory differences, gaps in learning, anxiety or emotionally based school avoidance.
How I can help...
• 1:1 Personalised Tutoring: Delivery of core curriculum in a safe, nurturing environment.
• Bespoke Learning Pathways: Inclusion planning for children with SEMH or complex SEND profiles.
• Transition Support: Slow-paced, child-centered reintegration or long-term alternative packages.
• Community-Led Learning: Utilising local libraries, community spaces and outdoor areas to foster real-world connections.
Home-based SEND tuition
Individualised home-based teaching for children across EYFS, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2.
Flexible, engaging and SEND-informed sessions to support children with gaps in learning, school avoidance, or those awaiting provision.
Learning is tailored to the child’s interests, needs and developmental stage, using a range of approaches including play-based, practical and multisensory learning.

• Support for gaps in learning

• Suitable for EYFS, KS1 and KS2

EOTAS & alternative provision support
Bespoke education support outside of traditional classroom settings.
I work with families, schools, local authorities and other professionals to support children accessing alternative provision or Education Otherwise Than At School.
Support can include individualised curriculum planning, direct teaching, home-based and community learning, liaison with professionals and ongoing review to ensure education remains meaningful, accessible and appropriate to the child’s needs.
Support can be tailored around the child’s existing education package and individual outcomes.

• Individualised curriculum planning

Assessments & Baselines
Understanding where a child is now, to inform the next steps.
I provide thorough, practical and child-friendly assessments to identify current levels of attainment, strengths and areas for development.
Assessments can be tailored to EYFS, Key Stage 1 or Key Stage 2 and may include observations, curriculum-based assessment, informal or formal assessments where appropriate, and clear, actionable recommendations.
This can be particularly helpful for children who have been out of education, have significant gaps in learning, are starting alternative provision, or need a clearer picture of their current learning level.
How I Can Help...
• EYFS, KS1 and KS2 baselines
• Identify strengths and gaps in learning
• Curriculum-based assessment
• Observations of learning and engagement
• Informal and formal assessment where appropriate
• Identification of current working levels
• Clear and practical recommendations
• Support with next steps and planning

Individual learning plans
I create individual learning plans based on a child’s unique needs, interests, strengths and aspirations.
Plans are SEND-informed, flexible and designed to be realistic and achievable, with regular review to celebrate progress and adjust support as needed.
Individual learning plans can be used alongside home tuition, alternative provision, EOTAS packages or additional support within school.
How I Can Help...
• Personalised, child-centred targets
• SEND-informed curriculum planning
• Short-term, achievable goals
• Longer-term education priorities
• Progress monitoring and review
• Flexible plans that adapt to changing needs
• Targets linked to identified gaps in learning
• Incorporation of communication, regulation and independence goals where appropriate
• Plans that can be shared with families and professionals
Transition / return-to-school support
I support children and families through periods of transition, whether preparing for a new setting, returning to school after a period of absence, moving between key stages or gradually increasing access to education.
Support is tailored to the child’s individual needs and may include gradual reintroduction to learning, routine building, emotional preparation and liaison with schools and other professionals.
For children who have been out of education for some time, support can begin with rebuilding engagement, confidence and readiness to learn before expectations are gradually increased.
• Rebuild routines and readiness to learn
• Gradual reintegration planning
• Preparation for returning to school
• Transition planning and visits
• Support with anxiety and emotional needs
• Build confidence and independence
• Gradually increase engagement with structured learning
• Support communication between families and education settings
• Liaison with schools and other professionals
• Help identify reasonable adjustments and supportive approaches
