Founded by an Expert, Delivered by Professionals
T for Teacher offers an unparalleled level of professional expertise, ensuring every child receives the highest quality, evidence-based instruction available.
SENCO Leadership: Our business is built on a foundation of specialist knowledge. T for Teacher was founded by a former Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCO) and Classroom Teacher. This leadership ensures that an inclusive, expert approach—where strategies that work for pupils with the hardest time learning are applied to benefit everyone—is woven into the fabric of every lesson we deliver.
Fully Qualified Teachers Only: Every tutor is a Fully Qualified Teacher with extensive classroom experience in mainstream / special educational settings. This professional background guarantees your child benefits from lessons delivered by someone trained in planning, assessment, and motivating all learners, not just someone who knows the subject.
Our Teaching is Grounded in Educational Learning Theory
We don't use generic worksheets; we use methods proven to reduce barriers to learning and accelerate progress.
- Reduced Cognitive Load: Our universal tutoring offer (Wave 1) is meticulously based on educational learning theory designed to reduce the cognitive load on the learner. We implement small-steps teaching—a strategy that breaks down complex concepts—making learning clear, accessible, and highly effective for all children.
- Core Curriculum Mastery: We focus on core English and Maths curriculum subjects to help children 'catch up' and 'keep up' whether they have fallen behind, are facing a learning barrier, or simply need more practice.
- Targeted Success: We cater to diverse needs, including providing stretch and challenge for high-potential learners and offering focused exam practice for milestones like the 11+, SATs, Year 4 Times Table Check, and Phonics Screening. We also provide essential support for a smooth transition into secondary school.
Specialist Assessments and Holistic School Partnership
For children with specific learning needs, our support is truly comprehensive:
- Diagnostic Dyslexia Assessments: Our Wave 3 service includes expert diagnostic dyslexia assessments provided by Specialist Teachers with additional qualifications in specific learning needs including dyslexia.
- School and Family Partnership: We extend our expertise beyond the tutoring session to offer crucial advice and support to families and schools. This includes liaising with schools, attending meetings, assisting with SEN paperwork, and offering guidance on managing SEN at home.
