Alternative Provision
Schools, Colleges & Local Authorities

Some young people need time, trust and a different way back into education. That’s where we begin.
Schools, Colleges & Local Authorities
Weekly Primary to A-level lessons in Maths, English and Science, designed to build confidence, academic skills and prepare for exams.
Education that begins with understanding.
Progress does not always begin with a qualification.
Sometimes it begins with turning up, staying a little longer, completing a practical task or feeling safe enough to ask for help.
At In-Tuition Learning, we support young people aged 11–25 whose current experience of school or college is not meeting their needs. We recognise that difficulty engaging with education does not reflect a lack of ability, ambition or potential. Often, trust and confidence must be rebuilt before learning can move forward.
We listen before we plan.
We take time to understand each learner: what interests them, what they find difficult, what they have experienced and what they would like their future to look like. Rather than expecting them to fit an existing model, we create an individual pathway from where they are now towards where they want to be.
The right starting point is different for every learner. It might be a short session, a practical activity, a quiet conversation or focused one-to-one support in a calm environment. These early experiences help to establish trust, consistency and a sense of possibility.
From that foundation, we gradually introduce learning at a pace that is appropriate and achievable. This may include English, Maths, GCSEs, Functional Skills, AQA Awards or preparation for the learner’s next step in education, training or employment.
Throughout the journey, we work closely with families, schools, colleges and local authorities. We communicate openly, review what is and is not working, and adapt the approach when circumstances change.
We recognise that meaningful progress is not measured by qualifications alone. Increased confidence, stronger relationships, improved engagement and greater independence can all represent important steps towards a young person’s future.
Throughout my career, I’ve seen how quickly a young person can become defined by attendance, behaviour, a diagnosis or a difficult period in their life. Once that happens, it’s easy to lose sight of the individual behind the label—and for the young person to stop believing that education can be a place where they can succeed.
I started In-Tuition Learning because I believe education should begin with understanding the person. When a student feels safe, listened to and genuinely understood, they are far more likely to engage, rebuild their confidence and feel ready to learn again.
That’s the approach we’ve built our provision around every day, because lasting progress begins when students feel understood before they are expected to achieve.
Education has never been just about teaching subjects. It is about helping young people realise that they have a future worth working towards.
— John, Founder
Learners are understood as individuals, not reduced to a label, diagnosis or previous experience of education.
Progress is planned in achievable steps, linked to EHCP targets, learner ambitions and the right next stage.
Every programme is designed around meaningful outcomes: rebuilding confidence, improving engagement, achieving qualifications, increasing independence and preparing for the right next step.
A clear, thoughtful alternative when a standard programme or environment is no longer enough.
Understanding comes first.
We take time to understand each student before planning the right educational pathway.
Individual pathways.
Learning is shaped around each student's strengths, needs and aspirations while maintaining ambitious expectations.
Meaningful progress.
We recognise progress in confidence, engagement, independence and readiness to learn alongside academic achievement.

Their professionalism, flexibility and student-centred approach have made them an invaluable partner in ensuring that pupils receive a high-quality education tailored to their individual needs.
Rather than expecting every learner to follow the same path, we build programmes around their starting point, strengths, needs and aspirations.
We recognise that achievement looks different for every learner, but our expectations remain high. Our role is to create opportunities for success, recognise progress so that every student leaves with greater confidence, recognised achievements and a clearer direction for the future.
Progress may look different for every learner, but it is always purposeful and carefully reviewed.
Our provision is best suited to students who benefit from education built on trust, flexible delivery and a carefully planned route back into learning.
If you are unsure, we would rather have an honest conversation than make assumptions.
If you are exploring provision for a young person who has become disengaged from education, we would be happy to discuss their situation, answer questions and help you decide whether In-Tuition Learning is the right next step.
Weekly lessons from primary to A-level, delivered in a calm, encouraging environment where confidence and understanding grow together.

We make lessons accessible by reducing concepts to the right level of understanding for the learner.
Sometimes a learner reaches a point where new ideas stop making sense. As lessons move on, small misunderstandings can grow into larger gaps in knowledge, making future topics increasingly difficult. Our tutors take time to identify where understanding begins to break down before rebuilding knowledge step by step. Lessons are delivered at a pace that allows students to ask questions, test their thinking and learn from mistakes without feeling rushed or judged. By adapting explanations and activities to the individual, tutors help students develop secure understanding, tackle more demanding work with confidence and prepare thoroughly for assessments and examinations.
First lesson each week: £35 per hour
Second lesson in the same week: £30 per hour
Third and any additional lessons in the same week: £25 per hour

These terms apply to private tuition arranged directly between In-Tuition Learning and the parent, guardian or adult learner named in the booking. A booking is confirmed when In-Tuition Learning accepts it by email or text message and the client confirms that they accept these terms.
Nothing in these terms removes or limits statutory consumer rights. Tuition services will be delivered with reasonable care and skill.
The client must provide accurate and relevant information about the learner’s age, school year, subjects, learning needs, medical information, allergies, behaviour, safeguarding concerns and any reasonable adjustments that may affect safe and effective tuition.
In-Tuition Learning may recommend a different format, tutor, group or service where this is considered more suitable. Tuition is educational support and does not guarantee a particular grade, examination result or school outcome.
Lesson days, times, duration, location and delivery format will be confirmed in writing. Clients should arrive and collect learners promptly. A late arrival by the learner does not normally extend the booked finish time.
Changes to the regular timetable are subject to availability. In-Tuition Learning may provide an appropriately qualified replacement tutor where necessary.
Tuition fees are charged at the rates shown in the Tuition Cost list. The applicable fee and lesson arrangements will be confirmed before tuition begins.
Invoices are issued at the beginning of each month for the lessons scheduled during that month and must be paid by the due date shown on the invoice.
In-Tuition Learning may pause future lessons where payment remains overdue after reasonable notice. Any change to fees will be communicated in writing before it takes effect.
The client may cancel or request to rearrange a lesson by giving at least 24 hours’ notice by text message or email. Where sufficient notice is given, In-Tuition Learning will make reasonable efforts to rearrange the lesson within the same month or at another agreed time. A rearranged lesson cannot always be provided by the learner’s regular tutor.
Where less than 24 hours’ notice is given, or the learner does not attend, the lesson will normally be treated as used and the fee will remain payable. Exceptional circumstances will be considered reasonably and on an individual basis.
If In-Tuition Learning cancels a lesson, a suitable rearranged lesson will be offered. If the lesson cannot be rearranged, the relevant fee will be credited to the client’s account or refunded where no further invoice is due.
Either party may end regular tuition by giving written notice by text message or email before the next monthly invoice is issued. Tuition will normally continue until the end of the current invoiced month, and no further monthly invoice will be raised.
Where notice is received after the next invoice has been issued, In-Tuition Learning will confirm the final lesson date and any payment adjustment, taking account of lessons already scheduled and tutor time already reserved.
In-Tuition Learning may end tuition immediately where there is serious non-payment, unsafe behaviour, harassment, a safeguarding concern or a material breach of these terms.
Learners, families and staff must behave respectfully. In-Tuition Learning may pause or end a lesson where conduct creates a safety risk or seriously disrupts learning.
Safeguarding concerns will be handled in line with the organisation’s safeguarding and child protection procedures. Confidentiality cannot be promised where information suggests that a child or vulnerable person may be at risk of harm. Relevant information may be shared with safeguarding agencies where lawful and necessary.
Concerns should first be raised promptly with In-Tuition Learning so they can be investigated and addressed. A written complaints procedure should set out escalation, response times and any relevant external routes. Raising a complaint does not affect statutory rights.
In-Tuition Learning does not exclude liability where it would be unlawful to do so. Neither party will be responsible for delay or failure caused by events outside reasonable control, but both will take reasonable steps to reduce disruption and rearrange services where practical.
Notices and enquiries may be sent to john@in-tuitionlearning.uk or the business contact details supplied with the booking. These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, subject to any mandatory consumer protections that apply.
