Depending on your child's needs and the arrangements we agree, sessions may take place in your home or in suitable community settings.

Community learning could include libraries, museums, galleries, parks, outdoor spaces and other appropriate educational environments.

Locations and activities are considered individually and appropriate consent and risk assessment procedures are followed.

Wildflower Education predominantly supports primary-aged children. If your child falls just outside this age range, or is currently working towards key stage 1 or 2 learning objectives, please get in touch and we can discuss whether I may still be able to help.

No. Your child does not need a formal diagnosis to access Wildflower Education.

I can support children with identified SEND as well as children experiencing anxiety, difficulties with emotional regulation, barriers to school attendance or engagement, or those who simply need a different approach to learning.

Yes. Learning can be informed by the National Curriculum and your child's current educational goals, while being adapted to their individual starting points, needs and pace.

For some children, this may mean working towards age-related curriculum objectives. For others, the immediate priority may be closing gaps, developing foundational skills, rebuilding confidence or simply beginning to engage positively with learning again.

Not quite.

Traditional tutoring often focuses on improving attainment in a particular subject. While Wildflower can absolutely support academic progress in areas such as English and maths, the provision is designed around the whole child.

Sessions can incorporate the wider curriculum, practical activities, creative projects, outdoor learning, children's interests and community experiences alongside more traditional teaching.

Yes, where an educational visit would genuinely support your child's learning and is appropriate for their needs.

For example, we might visit a museum to explore history, see a theatre production to inspire English work, or use an outdoor environment for science, geography, maths and art.

Visits are planned with a clear educational purpose and discussed with parents/carers beforehand. Appropriate consent and risk assessment procedures will be followed, and any additional costs will be agreed in advance.

Not necessarily.

Wildflower Education provides one-to-one provision, so a parent does not usually need to participate in the session.

The arrangements will be agreed before provision begins and will take account of your child's age, individual needs, the location and any relevant safeguarding or risk considerations.

That's okay. For some children, engagement itself is an important first step.

I won't expect a child who has experienced anxiety or difficulties with education to immediately sit down and complete formal work.

Early sessions may focus more heavily on building trust, discovering interests and creating positive experiences of learning. Expectations can then develop gradually as I get to know your child and understand what helps them feel comfortable and able to participate.

As a qualified primary teacher, I can support learning across the primary curriculum, including English, maths, science, history, geography, art and design & technology.

Learning can also develop wider skills such as communication, independence, confidence, organisation and problem solving.

Where possible, I enjoy connecting subjects together so that learning feels purposeful rather than teaching everything in isolation.

Yes. I have experience supporting children with a range of SEND within mainstream primary education.

Provision is individually adapted because two children with the same diagnosis can have very different strengths, needs and preferences.

Before agreeing to work with a child, I'll talk with you about their individual needs so that we can decide whether Wildflower Education is an appropriate provision for them.

Yes. Wildflower Education is particularly designed for children who may be finding it difficult to access or engage with mainstream education.

For children who have experienced significant anxiety around education, the initial focus may be on rebuilding trust, confidence and a positive relationship with learning before gradually increasing academic expectations.

Where appropriate, yes.

With the necessary permissions and arrangements in place, I can communicate with schools and other professionals involved in your child's education so that we can work towards consistent goals.

This may be particularly useful where Wildflower forms part of a child's wider educational provision.

Yes. Wildflower Education is designed to provide weekday, school-hours education, including for children who are not currently accessing mainstream school full-time.

Provision can range from an individual weekly session to longer blocks of personalised education depending on your child's needs and my availability.
