Tutoring Services

At Insight, we know that academic difficulties often go hand-in-hand with emotional or social struggles. That’s why our Child Centred Tutoring service combines high-quality academic support with an understanding of each child’s wellbeing.

Our tutors take a gentle, supportive approach to help children who may have lost confidence in the classroom or fallen behind due to anxiety, learning barriers, or disrupted schooling. By creating a positive, stress-free learning environment, we help children re-engage with their studies at their own pace, rebuilding motivation and a love for learning.

Every tutoring session is carefully tailored to meet each child’s individual needs, whether that’s catching up on core subjects, preparing for exams, or developing study skills. Sessions can take place in school, at home, or in the community — whatever works best for the child and their carers. Our aim is not just to boost grades but to help each child feel proud of their progress and capable of achieving their goals, both in school and beyond.

What We Offer:

  • Qualified Teachers: All our tutors are experienced and passionate professionals, skilled at working with children who face unique challenges.

  • Flexible Delivery: Face-to-face and remote learning options to meet the needs of the child and their carers.

  • Support for EHCP Objectives: Helping children achieve their educational goals while contributing to wider personal development.

  • Personalised Programmes: Tailored learning plans to close knowledge gaps, build confidence, and encourage a love of learning.

Outcomes:

  • Increased academic achievement

  • Improved confidence and self-belief

  • Better engagement with school and education

  • Progress towards EHCP objectives

Why Insight Tutoring?

We understand that when a child struggles at school, it’s often about so much more than just lessons and grades.

Our Child Centred Tutoring service is designed to help children catch up academically and rebuild confidence, motivation, and a love for learning.

Tailor-Made and Child-Focused

Our tutoring is completely personalised. Every child receives one-to-one support from a qualified teacher who takes the time to understand their unique learning needs, barriers, and strengths.

Trauma-Informed and Supportive

Many children we support have faced challenges like anxiety, disrupted schooling, or care experience. Our tutors take a gentle, trauma-informed approach that puts the child’s wellbeing first.

Flexible and Joined-Up

Tutoring sessions can be delivered face-to-face or remotely, at home, in school or in the community — whatever works best.

We work closely with families, schools, carers and local authorities to help each child’s progress fit into their wider plan.

Academic Progress with Real Impact

Our goal is to close knowledge gaps, build study skills, and support EHCP objectives — but more importantly, to help children feel proud of what they achieve and believe in themselves again.

Trusted by Schools and Local Authorities

Our tutors are trusted by schools, virtual schools, and local authorities, because they understand the complex needs of the children they support — and deliver results that last.

Fully Qualified and Safe

All Insight tutors are fully qualified, experienced, and DBS checked, so you can be confident your child is in safe hands.

What People are Saying

  • “One to one tuition has been the best thing that has happened to [our child] since she started Secondary school. Because [our child] has so many academical, emotional and behavioural struggles, and a huge amount of childhood trauma, she struggled to cope in a school environment. ”

  • "Catherine makes learning more fun"

    — O, age 14

  • "Seeing some positive responses from the young people I have worked with, given they have been a little unfortunate to lose their place at school. They really need routine and consistency and being a part of that has been lovely."

    — An Insight Tutor

  • "I speak to Emma regularly and she informs me of [our child]’s progress, she is making huge steps and achieving all of her goals. [our child] enjoys her tutoring session and Emma says that she does everything she's asked to do and will ask questions if she doesn't understand (she wouldn't do this at school as she said she didn't want the other children to know she didn't understand). Emma is very encouraging which gives [our child] confidence and helps her self esteem."
