I have worked extensively with children who have disengaged from traditional classrooms, supporting young people from ages 6 to 18. 

Whether your child is completely overwhelmed by phonics, or a teenager navigating GCSE exams, I adapt my approach to their unique neurodivergent profile.

I provide tutoring tailored for students experiencing school refusal and  Emotionally Based School Avoidance (EBSA):

• Connection First: For a child facing severe school anxiety, traditional teaching methods do not work. My initial sessions focus entirely on building rapport, exploring interests, and lowering stress. If we spend the first hour talking about their favourite game or working with a Zoom camera off, that is a successful step forward.
• Substantial Experience: I have a good (and growing!) understanding of neurodivergence (including Autism, ADHD, and PDA traits) and know how to adapt dynamically to a student's energy levels and mental health on any given day.
