Experience

Support informed by real-world educational experience

Liz brings together teaching, tutoring, SEND knowledge, safeguarding experience and collaboration with families and professionals.

Education and tutoring

One-to-one and small-group support focused on confidence, core skills, engagement and progress.

SEND experience

Family collaboration

Practical guidance and collaborative support for parents, carers and professionals involved in the learner's education.

Approach

Lessons designed around strengths, needs and interests

Every learner is different. Liz adapts each session to the person in front of her rather than relying on a single fixed programme.

  • Clear, achievable goals
  • Patient and encouraging teaching
  • Flexible lesson structure
  • Practical strategies learners can use independently
  • Regular communication with families where appropriate

What families can expect

Support that is calm, purposeful and personal

The first step is an introductory conversation to discuss the learner's needs, current challenges, strengths and goals.

From there, Liz can recommend a suitable approach and explain what future sessions may involve.
