Linking tutoring to social and emotional outcomes
over 14 years now and in that time, we’ve seen a range of possible outcomes from, Reengagement, ASDAN Short Courses, GCSEs, Functional skills and more. We have specific packages available to ensure outcomes are best met.
SEMH support helps young people develop life skills like coping skills, emotional regulation and resilience – all of which are foundations they need before they can focus on academic progress.

Social & well-being outcomes – Improved well-being through mentoring support and a reduced feeling of isolation for young people who have disengaged or medically unable to attend school. Foundation for preparation for adulthood.
Overall, these packages aim not only to close academic gaps but to also build confidence, life skills and career readiness students need to transition successfully into their next stage of education, training or employment.
Why is social and emotional learning important alongside academic tutoring? Academic learning is so important for young people, it gives them career prospects, life skills, access to learning and topics which may inspire them. However, when the student’s wider world is not going smoothly, academic learning can feel like a very low priority. Supporting students with their here and now, building their own self-worth allows them to be able to see the value in subjects like Maths, English and Science.
