Lighthouse Tuition
(South-West)
Hello! And welcome to Lighthouse Tuition South-West.
​
After delivering private tuition independently for years, following my work as a Primary Teacher, I noticed a need for more tutors with values similar to mine.
I am very fortunate to have met several highly-skilled, compassionate tutors over the years and am grateful to be able to offer their services to support your children, where I cannot.
We are primary, secondary and SEND specialists who have a proven track record of supporting even the most reluctant learners. We develop learning through bespoke sessions, often incorporating games and interests that your child has.
​
Our tutors offer travel to your home and we are running small group sessions within the community, in both our Plymouth and Ivybridge Hubs. ​Our sessions are fun, and tailored to the uniqueness of your child to encourage a love of learning for children at all stages of their education journey.
​
We are also very proud to be supporting EOTAS funded provision within the local area and have extensive experience working with children and young people with EHCPs.
If you are interested in tuition for your child, please email info@lighthousetuitionsouthwest.co.uk
Our Services
Whether your child doesn't enjoy reading or writing, or they find this subject tricky, we can work with them to make phonics exciting again! With our own integrated phonics stories that support school-based systems, your child can learn at their own pace.
For many children, maths can be an area of dread because the answer is either right or wrong. Our approach is to make maths meaningful so they can apply it to their real-world. With practical games and tangible objects, your child can develop their skills.
Navigating EHCP and SEND support can be tricky. We have a team of knowledgable and trained staff who can support you with your EHCP & SEND needs, including advocacy services and managing paperwork.
​
We are proud to be a trusted provider of EOTAS and alternative provision within the Plymouth area. We can liase with external agencies and your child's school to ensure yours and your child's goals and wishes are met, providing developmental tuition sessions that have proven outcomes.
Secondary education is a time when your child's learning becomes more independent. There are more exams including SATs and GCSEs to prepare for. If your child/young person needs an extra boost to catch up, prepare or solidate their knowledge, we offer subject-specific tuition in English, Maths and Science.
We understand the amazing work parents do to support their children with home education and how learning may look different for these children. That's why we offer sessions specifically for children who are home-educated. We welcome input from parents on the subjects and topics you would like your children to explore. ​
