Education support, Tutoring, Alternative Provision

​

Learning looks different for each child and this is key to meeting the child where they are and discovering how best to meet their needs.

 

At Beacon Alternative Provision, we want to provide children from KS1 through to KS3 the opportunity to build strong connections with our tutors, becoming a trusted adult in their life, with whom learning then becomes exciting and fulfilling.

We understand the complexities of child development and offer trauma-informed tutoring, focussing on the needs of the individual child.

Our tutors are fully qualified teachers, specialising in SEMH and SEND, and are parents too, which means we fully understand the challenges children face, and how to support them.

Both of my children have now been tutored by Steve and I have the utmost confidence in his quality of tutoring. 
Steve is extremely sensitive of my child’s needs. His calm, reassuring manner and high quality teaching instills confidence and trust. This allows my son to perform at his best whilst feeling safe enough to have a try if not so confident. My youngest son is quite shy and introverted but he totally feels at ease with Steve and his confidence has grown and grown. Further more, his academic progress has notably improved and is doing well compared with his peer group. 
Steve is very communicative with parents and is friendly, honest, approachable and supportive when answering questions about your child’s development and progress. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Steve to anyone’s child and we thank him for all his support. 

Deputy SENDCo, St Peters CofE school, Exeter

As a school we have recently discovered the team at Beacon Provision and have been really impressed with the provision and the team. Their organisation, work ethic and prompt timescales in which reports are written and received mean that we are regularly updated on pupil’s progress and areas of need. The feedback we receive weekly for pupil’s sessions is detailed and supports us in identifying ways we can further support pupils as well as identifying areas of progress and barriers to learning. Fiona and the team have built strong relationships with pupils which have enabled them to support pupil engagement to a high level.

We are really pleased to continue our partnership with Beacon to support our pupils needs and would recommend the team to other education settings who are looking for a provision to support academic teaching and bespoke social development support.

Steve is a genuine wizard of a tutor and master of his craft. He uses his many years of teaching  experience and high EQ to ensure the 1:1 sessions are both structured and adaptable to give kids confidence in all areas. 

We personally recommend him, were recommended to him and have recommended others - we’d all agree you will struggle to find a better tutor.

A few months ago I did not even know what AP was!

 

After a lot of interactions, this provision with Beacon was put in place for my granddaughter.

​

I was cautious about it's success, but I am absolutely thrilled at the dedication, imagination and skill I have seen from Beacon. The one to one aspect is exactly what was needed in this case, and I cannot praise Beacon enough. 

 

The family have been involved all the way to work out a timetable, and I am sure it will succeed.

 

Thank you Beacon

I’m so pleased with how things have gone with my daughter’s AP covering a range of subjects including life skills. A very positive nurturing experience for those that have endured trauma in a mainstream school setting and need to engage in learning again after being out of school for a period of time.
