Case Studies
Teddy
Teddy* is in Year 2 and he was permanently excluded from school. The DSPL strategic lead for behaviour contacted Home-School Tutoring to provide tuition services for Teddy.
Over 3 terms Teddy was tutored by a specialist SEND tutor. This initially took place within the family home and once Teddy was settled with his tutors we moved this to a neutral venue that we hired locally. Teddy was able to make the room his own, a safe space for his learning to take place in and he thrived.
We have worked alongside the family, the primary support base, social care and family support workers to ensure continuity of care for Teddy. Together we successfully obtained an EHCP for Teddy. Teddy will move to a specialist provision when a place becomes available.
Nadia
Nadia* was a Year 10 student when Home-School Tutoring started working with her. She had been home educated for a few years and Nadia's parents wanted some additional support as she approached her GCSE's. Through Years 10 & 11 Nadia had tutors support her for 2-3 hours per week, per subject in Maths, English, Science and French. We worked alongside the family closely and supported them with booking Nadia into an exam centre to sit her exams in the summer of Year 11. We also helped them to select the most appropriate exam boards.
The tutors ensured that Nadia covered the full curriculum for each subject and supported her revision as well as study skills. Nadia achieved excellent results in her GCSE's.
Grace
Home-School Tutoring was approached by a SEND commissioner with a request to provide 2 full days of tuition for a year 6 girl, Grace*. Grace has a diagnosis of Autism. The tuition needed to take place within a neutral venue. Grace's primary school were unable to meet her needs and she had been out of school for a period of time. Grace has an EHCP.
Within a week a package was put together for Grace. Grace was tutored for her final term and a half, for two full days a week. A room with an enclosed outdoor area was hired by Home-School Tutoring near to the family home.
Grace throughly enjoyed her tutoring and made excellent progress. She proudly put a sign on the door saying 6G so every one knew it was her classroom. Our tutors supported Grace as she successfully transitioned to a specialist secondary school.
Thank you for your help and I’d like to add that Ivana has been absolutely amazing. We couldn’t have done it without her. We are so grateful for her help. She really helped Jessica gain confidence in her maths and we are hoping she passes.
