A tailored approach

Tuition that flexes around the learner, not the other way around

Some young people need focused academic support. Others need specialist SEND-aware teaching, structured home education guidance, sharper exam preparation or a timetable that works around training and competition. The common thread is the same: tuition needs to fit the learner if it is going to work well.

Our private tuition is designed for families, schools, SENCOs, local authorities and referral partners who want teaching that feels more individual, more responsive and more confidence-building than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Private tuition sits alongside Care Cove's alternative provision in Sheffield and our short breaks.

Tuition for

  • Families seeking personalised one-to-one support
  • Learners rebuilding confidence after lost progress
  • Young people needing specialist SEND-aware tuition
  • Students balancing education with high-level sport

Five focused tuition pathways

Each pathway is designed around a different kind of learner need, while keeping the same Care Cove standard of specialist teaching, thoughtful communication and flexible support.

01

Academic Tutoring

Subject-focused tuition that strengthens understanding, improves confidence and helps learners make steady, measurable academic progress.

Our Academic Tutoring offers calm, one-to-one support for learners who need clearer explanations, stronger subject understanding and teaching that moves at the right pace, from primary foundations through to GCSE and post-16 study.

Some learners need help closing gaps after missed learning. Others need stronger foundations in key subjects, more confidence in lessons, or a calmer space to work through topics step by step. We keep support clear, focused and well paced, helping learners strengthen understanding in subjects such as English, maths and science.

Who it helps

  • Primary and secondary learners needing stronger foundations
  • GCSE learners closing gaps and rebuilding confidence
  • Post-16 learners needing subject-specific support
  • Young people who benefit from calmer one-to-one teaching

What Academic Tutoring includes

One-to-one subject teaching
Personalised tutoring in key academic subjects, delivered at the learner's level with clear explanations and space to think.
Learning-gap support
Targeted teaching that identifies what has been missed or misunderstood and focuses attention where it will make the biggest difference.
Confidence-building sessions
Calm, well-paced support that reduces pressure, helps learners ask questions more freely and makes success feel achievable again.
Support across key stages
Teaching that can flex from primary and secondary learning through to GCSE and post-16 support where appropriate.

Regular communication and clear direction so families and professionals can understand how the learner is developing.
Flexible delivery

02

Exam Preparation

Targeted support for revision, knowledge gaps, organisation and exam technique, helping learners feel calmer and better prepared.

Our Exam Preparation offers calm, structured tuition for learners who need a clearer revision plan, stronger exam technique and more confidence under pressure, whether they are preparing for SATs, GCSEs, mock exams or other important assessments.

It combines subject-specific support, revision planning, past-paper practice and practical exam technique, so learners can prepare in a way that feels purposeful, well paced and easier to sustain. Effective exam support is not about last-minute cramming: it is about creating a manageable routine and helping the learner feel more composed when it matters most.

Who it helps

  • GCSE learners preparing for mocks or final papers
  • SATs support where revision needs more structure
  • Learners who need stronger exam technique and timing
  • Young people whose confidence drops as assessments approach

Exam technique coaching
Practical guidance on timing, structure, command words, longer answers and the strategies that help learners convert knowledge into marks.
Past paper and mock exam support
Practice that builds familiarity with exam demands, helps identify weak areas and gives learners more confidence in realistic assessment conditions.
Confidence and anxiety support
Calmer preparation that helps reduce panic, builds trust in the revision process and gives learners tools to approach exams with more composure.
Preparation across key stages
Support that can flex from SATs where relevant through to GCSE and post-16 assessments, always shaped around the learner's stage and needs.
03

Home School Support

Structured teaching and guidance for home-educated learners who need consistency, progression and expert support within a more flexible model.

Our Home School Support gives families calm, tailored teaching and practical curriculum guidance, helping children progress outside mainstream school with more structure, confidence and flexibility.

Choosing elective home education can create more flexibility, more individual attention and a calmer way for some children to learn. Families may also want help with curriculum planning, core subject teaching, routine, progress guidance or specialist input. We work alongside families to shape an approach that fits the learner and the home environment.

Who it helps

  • Families choosing elective home education
  • Learners who need calmer, more personalised teaching
  • Parents wanting more curriculum structure and subject guidance
  • Children transitioning from school into a different model of learning

What Home School Support includes

Curriculum guidance and planning
Support to shape an age-appropriate learning pathway, choose priorities sensibly and create a clearer sense of what progress can look like at home.
One-to-one and small-group teaching
Focused tuition that can be delivered individually or in small-group formats where appropriate, depending on the learner and the family's preferences.
Core subject and targeted support
Teaching in key areas such as English, maths and science, alongside targeted help where a child needs more explanation, confidence or structure.
Structured routines that fit family life
Practical support with building a learning rhythm that feels realistic, sustainable and flexible enough to work well within the home environment.
Confidence for parents and learners
Reassurance through clearer teaching, better direction and more confidence that the approach being taken is supporting meaningful progress.
Flexible delivery around the family
Support that can adapt around routine, availability and the wider shape of home education, rather than forcing the family into a one-size-fits-all model.

SEND Specialist Support

Adapted, specialist tuition for learners with additional needs, delivered with patience, understanding and teaching that fits the individual.

Our SEND specialist tuition provides calm, personalised teaching for learners with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, sensory or communication needs and other learning differences, helping them feel safer, more engaged and able to make progress at the right pace.

It focuses on understanding the individual first, then shaping teaching around strengths, barriers, motivation and the wider context around the learner, so progress can build in a way that feels calm, achievable and well supported.

Who it helps

  • Learners with autism and sensory needs who need calmer teaching
  • Young people with ADHD who benefit from structure, clarity and engagement
  • Children with dyslexia and learning differences who need adapted delivery
  • Learners who need emotionally safe support and a more personalised pace

What SEND Specialist Support includes

Individual learning profile support
Teaching shaped around the learner's needs, strengths, barriers, communication style, motivators and the ways they are most likely to engage well.
Calm, one-to-one specialist teaching
Patient tuition that reduces pressure, allows time to process and creates a more emotionally safe space for learning and confidence to grow.
Sensory and communication-aware approaches
Support that takes account of sensory preferences, communication needs and the kinds of adjustments that can make learning more manageable.
Adapted curriculum and core subject support
Teaching in English, maths and other key areas, delivered in a way that is more accessible, paced and responsive to the individual.

Support that helps learners feel more capable, more willing to try and more able to stay connected to learning over time.

Clear communication with parents, carers, SENCOs and other professionals so support feels joined up and purposeful around the learner.

Early training, fixture congestion, competition travel, academy commitments and physical fatigue can all affect attendance, routine and the time available for focused academic work.

Who it helps

  • Football academy scholars balancing study with training and fixtures
