Our People
Tuition Extra harnesses possibilities, acknowledging that everyone has the power to succeed and improve their learning journey and outcomes…. we focus on the goals, dreams and outcomes of our young people. We remove barriers to learning and open up possibilities and future pathways.
Our outstanding academic results reflect a can-do culture, facilitated by our community of inspirational teaching and SEN professionals, and therapeutic practitioners. We grow by reputation and recommendation. The Tuition Extra Group is well known within educational services for its quality and integrity, and for nurturing the potential of its students, many of whom have historically struggled to engage successfully on learning pathways.

A Word
From our CEO
“Over the past decade, Tuition Extra Group has grown as a center of excellence, consistently achieving outstanding academic outcomes for the many wonderful students in our care.
Our unique approach combines emotional development and therapeutic intervention to harness incredible academic outcomes. We understand that behavior is communication and value the individual, meeting their needs and understanding their interests and aspirations. By recognizing student potential and removing barriers to learning, our young people are able to flourish in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our great team of professionals is committed to providing caring and structured learning opportunities in which all children and young people can develop academically, socially, emotionally and morally to their full potential.
At Tuition Extra, we think of ourselves as a dedicated family, supportive and nurturing towards our cohort and united in our holistic view of education. This means that every member of staff cares and protects each child and young person as they progress on their unique journey.”
