How we help
Every student has a unique mix of strengths and barriers, so we never use a standard approach. We hire experienced tutors 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 expertise in supporting students with SEN, and 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
When helpful, we introduce practical tools and show students how to use them independently at school and at home. This can include text-to-speech, dictation, screen readers, reading rulers, visual planners and timers, distraction blockers, vocabulary tools and simple note-taking systems.
