Building Confidence Through Alternative Provision: Stories of Success

The Power of Alternative Provision

In today’s educational landscape, tuition is more important than ever as a method of delivering alternative provision. Many learners face challenges such as school exclusion and have a range of needs such as anxiety and SEND. These learners require a personalised, alternative programme of learning to help them to re-engage in education and experience success.

For these learners, one-on-one tuition can be a game-changer, helping them rebuild confidence, overcome obstacles and ultimately achieve success in their learning and personal development.

Our Approach at Fleet Education Services

At Fleet Education Services, we recognise the diverse and complex needs of these learners. Our approach is centred on matching each learner with the right tutor - one who understands their specific needs and can provide appropriate strategies and tailored support to meet each learner where they are

We believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where learners can thrive, working with them closely until they are ready to transition to the next stage of their academic journey. Whether the learner receives tuition at home, at a community setting or within a school environment, our mission is to ensure that every learner we work with receives a tuition programme that is uniquely tailored for them.

Success Stories from Our Learners and Families

The success of our approach can be seen through the real-life progress of learners and the heartfelt feedback from their families. Here are just a few examples:

Building Trust and Confidence

"O gets on well with the maths tutor. I'm amazed how well they both did considering O’s anxieties; they communicated well, and O always seems happy for his next session. It's very hard to find someone that is comfortable to talk to, but this has been a very positive start."

This feedback is a testament to how we prioritise building trusting relationships between tutors and learners. By creating an environment where learners feel safe and supported, we help them regain confidence - both in themselves and in their ability to succeed academically.

Overcoming Complex Challenges

"Our tutor, S, is really brilliant. She has developed a great relationship with P, who feels safe and relaxed in her presence. S is engaging, fun, and comes up with innovative ideas to weave in learning as much as possible. P is in autistic burnout and experiencing very high levels of anxiety, so there have been times she hasn’t been able to have S over to the house. However, for the last two weeks she has managed to have S over once a week, and hopefully, in time, this will be able to increase."

For learners with complex needs, like P, the road to success can be long and unpredictable. However, with a dedicated tutor who understands their needs and anxieties, the smallest steps can lead to significant long-term progress.

Transforming Lives

"I wanted to send a note of appreciation for the work that S did with my daughter O over the course of the two years that she taught her English, Sociology, and Film Studies. O went back to school a year ago to sit her GCSEs, and last week we received her results—9s all around and an 8 in RE. I can’t begin to tell you what this means to us and O. When S started teaching her, O had just had a breakdown due to a very recent diagnosis of autism and recent changes in family circumstances. She was reclusive and had lost all her ambition and spark. Two years with S building up her confidence and academic mindset turned my child into a young woman who now knows she has the world ahead of her and is keen to grab life (and university!) with both hands. We owe S more than I can put into words but wanted to drop you a note to thank Fleet Education Services too."

This story is a shining example of the life-changing impact a tutor can have. Beyond academic success, tutors at Fleet Education Services help learners rediscover their self-worth and regain a positive outlook on their future.
