Special Needs State Tuition Structure
Navigating the English National Curriculum can feel like a whirlwind, especially for children who encounter learning challenges.
The pace is brisk, the content dense, and for our special education needs (SEN) children, it can be an uphill battle.
Understandably, gaps in understanding emerge, and frustrations mount.
Here at ABC, our mission is to undo those frustrations and make learning fun.
We offer a combination of home sessions and Zoom. The assessments often take place in person. From time to time after the assessment, home sessions may also be required for some pupils.
Our team comprises dedicated SEN teachers who've delved deep into the National Curriculum, crafting a tailored program for children facing cognitive, behavioural, or learning processing difficulties.
Once your child undergoes a comprehensive assessment, they embark on a personalised journey of learning.
Our approach is multi-sensory, engaging, and entirely individualised.
We're on a mission to bridge those knowledge gaps and bolster confidence, ensuring every child strides forward in their educational journey with strength and self-assurance.
