Citizenship Tutors : 1-1 Citizenship Preparation

Hello, my name is Simon Hackett , and I’m an experienced tutor, Director at 4 Life Education alternative education provision, and ex Deputy Head at a vocational education setting. I’ve spent many years working with children and teenagers who haven’t quite found their place in mainstream school—and I know from experience that with the right support, the right approach, and a bit of patience, every young person can thrive.

I specialise in working with children who may have additional needs, struggle with behaviour or confidence, or just learn better in a different environment. I teach a range of subjects, including Maths, English, Construction, Sport, and life skills, and I always adapt lessons to suit the individual child. Whether your child needs help catching up, finding their confidence, or re-engaging with learning altogether, I aim to build a positive relationship first, because learning starts when a child feels safe, understood, and supported.

As a parent myself, I understand how important it is to know your child is in the right hands. I bring a calm, consistent, and encouraging approach to each session, and I keep communication open with families every step of the way. My sessions focus not just on education, but also on building your child’s confidence, self-esteem, and resilience. Every child learns differently, and I’m here to find the way that works best for yours.

Hi

As a tutor, I bring a kind, caring, and empathic approach, deeply rooted in the belief that every child holds unique potential waiting to be nurtured. My practice is centred around developing individual capacity, confidence, and self-esteem through creative play and a Steiner-inspired educational philosophy.

I take time to understand each learner’s needs, designing a bespoke hidden curriculum that gently weaves academics and a natural problem-solving approach into meaningful, engaging experiences. This approach is especially supportive for children facing behavioural or personal challenges.

My goal is to foster a sense of curiosity and critical thinking, encouraging students to explore, question, and grow at their own pace—building not just knowledge, but a genuine love of learning.

Kind Regards,
Anthony.

Hello! I’m Lorna. I’m a dedicated and approachable lecturer who believes that every student has the potential to succeed when given the right environment, encouragement, and support. I work hard to create a welcoming, respectful, and engaging learning space where students feel comfortable asking questions, expressing ideas, and growing both academically and personally. My teaching approach is interactive and focused on real-world connections, helping students understand the relevance of what they’re learning. I believe that strong communication and trust between lecturer and student are key to a positive educational experience. I continually seek to improve my teaching practices to ensure that I provide high-quality, student-centered learning that inspires confidence, curiosity, and independence.

Let me put my mind to use and teach you new ways to remember things. While working with SEND children and being SEND myself, I’ve learnt many different ways to study and can help tailor the experience to you! While I can’t help you in the exam I can help prepping you for the big day. Learning is better when it fun, and you remember more! While achieving all my grades within compulsary school I have continued to get more qualifiactions in order to open more doors. I’m always learning new things and have a passion for learning that I’ve been told rubs off on other people. Over coming adversary with Dyslexia and Autism has made me learn so many different ways of remembering things, let me cut down the search for you and help a student acheive there best possibility. I look forward to teaching and helping in anyway that I can!
