Why a Tailored Approach is Key to Stress-Free Progress

Charlotte Gater, Head of Curriculum at Explore Learning, explores how the right extra-curricular tuition can support the development of students with special needs and help them thrive in all areas of life.

At Explore Learning Tuition Centres we treat every child as an individual. Everyone comes with their own strengths, talents, motivations and areas to develop. Families seek out tuition for many different reasons and come with a variety of goals, from socialising and communication to academic progress. It’s important for us that we work with each family to harness what makes each child tick, help them thrive and achieve their initial goals and far beyond.

Tailoring is vital for all, but it becomes acutely apparent when working with children with special educational needs

Among many other areas, we have strategies to help support children with:

  • Concentration
  • Academic progress and retention
  • Social interactions and confidence
  • Audio and visual processing
  • Coordination and motor skills
  • Phonological processing and spelling
  • Organisation and sequencing
  • Attitude towards learning

Over 4000 children who attend Explore Learning have a learning difference or are currently being assessed. Here is how we work with families to let them know we’re all in this together.

Listen 

Every family’s experiences are different and parents are experts in their child’s needs. So, we listen to each of their experiences. We find out if there are any techniques that already work that we can build on; anything that is in place at home or school that we can echo and also the things to avoid.
