Study Mind AP Tutors
About us
Study Mind, a trusted tuition provider with 7+ years of experience, offers tailored mentoring for learners with SEND. We’ve partnered with DofE UK Government, NHS Wales, Bristol, Southampton, King's, and 50+ schools. We offer qualifications from KS1 to A-Level
Impact, Outcomes and Key Performance Indicators
- We strive for continuous improvement & aim to provide solid progress and good outcomes. We collect & record data, attendance, learner progress, attainment and interventions. Tutors are observed regularly.
- Academic progress is monitored through assessments, tests, and/or homework.
- We complete Interim Progress Report (every 6 weeks) - assess tuition against ILP targets, providing a summary report on progress, strengths, and developmental points. The report includes targets for the next period, along with plans to achieve them. Tutors identify additional barriers to learning, incorporating learner, parent/carer/school feedback.
How to access?
We provide online small group teaching, and in-person/online 1-1. We support SEND/SEMH/SpLD learners, excluded and those at risk of NEET’s, and ESOL learners. EOTAS packages comply with statutory requirements. We've delivered 200,000+ tuition hours, empowering learners from diverse backgrounds, ages and abilities.
How we deliver
We provide tuition at all times including outside of term-time, evenings and weekends. We can offer tuition for up to a full year or longer if needed.
How we report attendance
- Absences/attendance reported to the referrer and carer promptly after each session. Two consecutive absences prompt AP lead intervention.
- Collaborative efforts with the carer, learner, and tutor are initiated with goal-setting and emphasise the impact of poor attendance on attainment.
- Monitoring is ongoing, and attendance is flagged as a priority for the Tutor team, possibly collaborating with other agencies (CAMHS, OTs).
- Engagement Leads continuously monitor attendance in line with Children Missing Education (CME) policy.
