  • Personalised Programmes

    Information overload often causes problems for children with special educational needs within traditional school environments. Students are bombarded with information, often across multiple subjects, with very little one-to-one support available. At Sunbeam Education, students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other special educational needs receive private online tutoring. We work one-to-one with each student using methods specifically tailored to their unique needs and learning preferences, such as visual diagrams, analogies, and experiential learning, among many other teaching methods that help them learn most effectively.

Our Mission Our Mission Our Mission

We believe that education should be compassionate, engaging, and bespoke rather than clinical, dull, and one-size-fits-all.

That is why we look for empathetic experts with first-hand experience to help students with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia with their academic performance, life skills, and self-confidence. We understand the importance of education and its impact on a student’s life and strive to provide the best tutoring services available. We want our students to feel cared for and not alienated, so we ensure our services are tailored to their individual needs. We are passionate about providing students with the support, guidance, and resources they need to make their educational journey more enjoyable and successful.

Does Your Child Struggle With

  • Attention and Motivation

    Students with SEN, such as ADHD, often struggle with regulating focus and attention, which can lead to missed instructions and incomplete tasks. Autism can also affect attention due to sensory issues or repetitive behaviours distracting from schoolwork. These attention difficulties can significantly reduce motivation, especially if students frequently face failure or frustration.

  • Communication

    SEN can significantly impact communication skills, which are critical for academic and social success. For example, students with autism may have difficulty understanding neurotypical social cues or interpreting language, which hinders their communication ability. Those with dyslexia might struggle with both written and verbal expression due to difficulties in processing language.

    rectangle-85-1

  • Anxiety and Depression

    The struggles associated with SEN can lead to elevated levels of anxiety and depression. Students might experience stress due to their academic difficulties and the social challenges in a school setting. The constant effort required to keep up with their peers can be overwhelming, and the fear of failure or ridicule can exacerbate feelings of anxiety.

    rectangle-101

  • Executive function

    Executive functioning skills, such as planning and regulating emotions, are often impaired in students with SEN. For instance, ADHD hinders a student's ability to manage tasks and stay organised. Autism might affect flexible thinking and problem-solving skills.

    As a result of having ADHD myself, I am passionate about ensuring children with the same condition I have, have the opportunities and support I nearly missed out on. I love teaching students to enjoy literature in a way that can expand their knowledge of the wider world and in ways that will benefit them when they leave school. A natural passion for literature is something I will always encourage, and I look forward to being able to teach students who share this same passion as me!
