What’s on offer?
Equal Education has 10 years experience providing individualised 1:1 tuition for vulnerable and disadvantaged students, including Children Looked After, those who are Adopted and those with Special Educational Needs (SEND). This includes those with EHCPs, medical needs, known to the Youth Justice Service and permanently excluded (PEX). Tuition is provided by a qualified teacher, an evidence-based model demonstrating an average of 5 months progress (Education Endowment Foundation). We work with over 150 Local Authorities, Virtual Schools and schools to deliver tuition to students in school, Alternative Provision and EOTAS.
Our Programmes Team carefully matches the student with the most suitable tutor (i.e. SEND specific experience) from our community of 600+ qualified teachers. We take a multi-agency approach and collaboratively work with the parent/carer, and other key professionals, to further understand support with the SEND needs and to timely establish a suitable timetable and venue for tuition, conducting risk assessments when required.
Our Support team further develop the success of tuition by:
● Requiring advance notice of absence to reschedule;
● Ensuring tutors submit session reports after each session to monitor attendance, engagement, and outcomes;
● Immediately sharing issues or low level safeguarding concerns the referrer;
● Providing reports and tutor attendance for Annual Reviews and PEP meetings;
● Registering and organising exam arrangements.
