Why Choose More Than Words Tuition?

Everyone learns differently. That's why we take the time to understand each learner's strengths, challenges and goals before creating personalised support that helps them succeed.

We support children and young people academically, emotionally and physically, helping them develop the skills and self-belief they need to thrive.

Professional dyslexia assessments provide families and schools with a clear understanding of a learner's strengths and areas of need, enabling tailored support both at home and in the classroom.

Our Whole Child Approach

We recognise that learning difficulties can affect much more than academic progress. Our approach focuses on understanding each learner's strengths and needs, adapting teaching to help them experience success and develop confidence. Where appropriate, we also work alongside schools, families and other professionals to provide consistent support.

Who We Support

Every child and young person deserves the opportunity to succeed. We work with learners from a wide range of backgrounds, tailoring our support to meet their individual strengths, needs and aspirations.

We regularly support children and young people who:

Experience anxiety or low confidence that affects learning.

Find attending school challenging.

Require Alternative Provision.

Have dyslexia or other specific learning differences.

Have Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Need extra support to build confidence and reach their potential.

Need help preparing for SATs or GCSEs.

Would benefit from personalised one-to-one learning.

Respond well to movement, sport and confidence-building activities alongside educational support.

For some learners, confidence is built just as much through movement and achievement as it is through academic success. By combining specialist educational support with confidence-building fitness sessions, we help them discover their strengths, stay motivated and develop the resilience to succeed both academically and personally. Whether a learner needs short-term intervention or longer-term specialist support, we work closely with families, schools and professionals to create personalised programmes that promote confidence, wellbeing and lasting progress.
