Humanities tuition for neurodivergent and high-achieving learners, whose needs standard tutoring does not meet. Your child is taught by an examiner who founded and ran multiple SEN and academic programmes in HK international schools. Our programme begins with a learning profile and a clear roadmap to completion. We work with a small number of families each year. Apply, and if we’re the right fit, we’ll discuss working together.
A written profile of how your child learns, built from their reports and shareable with their school.
Careful planning across IB, A-Level, IGCSE and AP, with ECA built in, to maximise your child’s learning.
Study, writing and organisation skills taught directly, so your child learns how to learn for themselves.
SENCO, ECA, academic, safeguarding and LEx expertise, working together for your child.
