How we help
Every student has some strengths and some barriers, as a result we never use a standardised teaching approach. We hire experienced educators and give them room to teach in their style. All tutors are carefully interviewed before joining Sunbeam and share our commitment to compassionate, engaging teaching. Each has up-to-date safeguarding training, insurance and an Enhanced DBS certificate.
Our method
Focused 50-minute sessions with varied tasks, short breaks, and plenty of encouragement. Tutors are experts in their field and teach in their own style. We link strategies back to classwork so progress and confidence translates to school.
Assistive technology
Used only where helpful and chosen to suit the student. Examples include read-aloud and dictation tools, screen readers, simple note/annotation templates, flashcard and retrieval apps for quotes or formulae, planners and timers, and (for STEM) graphing/calculator tools. We help students use tools independently at school and at home.
