Frame-1

Our method

Sessions are typically 50 minutes with varied tasks and, where helpful, short breaks. Tutors start from what the student can already do and build the next step, linking work to current class tasks so progress shows up in school. Approaches are chosen by the tutor to suit the learner.

Assistive technology

We show students how to use tools independently at school and at home.

We are Sunbeam Education, and we look after families and students with special educational needs. We focus on tutoring and coaching with empathy to make your life easier.
